Gotham Down Deluxe

Jean Grae

2013

The Gotham Down saga was originally told over three separate releases, before being condensed together as a deluxe edition. “The story is about a time-traveling assassin who decides to leave the company she works for and they have killed her family, her kids and her husband, and she’s out to avenge their deaths, and she’ll do whatever it takes,” says Grae, summing up the concept behind the project.

She adds that much of Gotham Down is inspired by, “my general idea of how time works,” as well as the manga and anime series Golgo 13, and assassin flicks including The Professionals and La Femme Nikita.
