Created & Written by: David Baron

Colors by: David Baron
Lettered by: Simon Bowland
From 2016 HARVEY AWARD NOMINEE David Baron (GREEN ARROW: YEAR ONE, BATMAN: THE BLACK MIRROR, BLOODSHOT REBORN) and rising newcomer Yusuf Idris comes a noir-ish sci-fi adventure unlike any other.
Meet Emma London, recovery artist, and bounty hunter for hire. She is strong, possibly indomitable, and, did we mention…part machine.
Emma is the type that dives headfirst into things that most wouldn’t and shouldn’t. Those dark places that no one else will go to track down the subhuman criminals lurking in the underbelly of society and bring them to justice. STAINED first comes to life when Emma tries to take down a pair of international diamond smugglers. Emma’s story explodes forward when initially what was thought to be a hunt for a priceless painting with a record-high bounty leads her to something darker and more monstrous than she could have ever imagined.
