New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (BRZRKR) and Eisner Award-winning legend David Lapham (STRAY BULLETS) return to their seminal series of superhero deconstruction with THE HERO TRADE: THE BUTLER. Told entirely through splash pages, this brutal tale marries the grit and grime of Frank Miller's SIN CITY with the psychological depth of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' WATCHMEN in an explosive new one-shot that dares to seek justice in an unjust world. Every night, THE WATCH takes out the trash. Trouble is, somebody's gotta clean up the mess. Another sleepless night spent knee-deep in the gutter, ripping scumbags off the streets and stuffing them into the body bags they deserve. Because if there's one thing THE WATCH believes in, it's justice -- permanent justice. THE BUTLER once stood shoulder to shoulder with THE WATCH, his partner in the war on crime. Until he realized THE WATCH is no hero -- just a loose-cannon psycho who takes sick pleasure in playing judge, jury and executioner, no matter the collateral damage. Now, THE BUTLER is through taking orders. He knows THE WATCH inside and out, and he'll stop at nothing to beat him at his own game -- getting the criminals behind bars before his former partner can put them six feet under.

A portal to the other side has been opened, and a new age of darkness is about to begin—christened in the blood of baby goat Bronson’s own mother. But the maniacal cult master Magus isn’t finished with his kidnapped goats yet. He needs one more sacrifice to complete his ritual and summon the ancient demon Asmodeus into our world…and Bronson is next on the chopping block. Surrounded by the writhing bodies of drug-crazed cultists, Bronson has only one way out: through the gates of Hell! But can the littlest goat unlock the hero within to save his family—and the world?
