Product Description
by Vivek Shinde (Illustrator), Saurav Mohapatra (Author)
Once, he was one of them - the infamous Encounter Cops of Mumbai, a ruthless squad of policemen, historically bestowed with the freedom to enact vigilante justice on the city's overflowing criminal underworld. Torn apart by grief, Arjun Kadam has hit rock bottom. Now, fate has given him a second chance at redemption as he makes one last stand against the very machine of violence and corruption that he once helped create.
From writer Saurav Mohapatra (Witchblade, Mumbai MacGuffin) and artist Vivek Shinde (Project: Kalki, Snakewoman) comes a hard-boiled tale of revenge and redemption in the seedy underbelly of Mumbai.
The critically acclaimed international sensation is now available in a Fifth Anniversary Special "NOIR" edition -- a glorious black-and-white softcover edition.
