They battle spirits, monsters and folkloric nasties for the British Occult Secret Service (BOSS) during the 'Golden Age' of the Victorian era.
Issue #0 contains 3 short stories that introduce the main characters, their world and the supernatural laws that govern them.

Overall, each story is as creepy with a tinge of X-Files mashed up with Penny Dreadful. The story by Reynolds is eerie, suspense driven, and compelling. The art by Bentley is breathtaking and vibrant. Altogether, a grand series that pulls readers in with every page with its quick wit and well-developed characters. Read Full Review
It's a very solid first issue, a little more exposition to who the characters were would have been useful, though the concept to the story is very cool. The art is very impressive as well. That in itself is enough for me to check out the next issue. I definitely recommend picking this up if you want something a little different. Read Full Review
