Tough as nails and stubborn as a muleâ€"badass bounty hunter Barb Wire puts the “drop dead” in drop dead gorgeous.


Steel Harbor is the American dream turned nightmare. This once great city was a monument to American industry and ingenuity, but now it’s a scrap heap of shuttered factories, decaying neighborhoods, and wasted potential being carved up and fought over by superpowered street gangs. 

But where others see a warzone, Barb sees opportunity. When a bounty can punch through a wall, summon a tornado, or fly, they tend to have a big fat price on their head which is exactly what Barb needs if she’s going to keep her money-pit hard rock bar from being shuttered. The trick is staying alive long enough collect.
