Redhanded
An original comic book mini-series about making difficult decisions, eating pizza, and fighting killer robots. What could go wrong?
overview
Living a powered-up life, down under
Who are the EVOs?
Set against the backdrop of the technologically-advanced, neo-modern capital city of the great sunburnt nation of Stralis, Redhanded takes place in a society stuck in the mire of a cultural post-superhero ennui, where one in every two inhabitants have some form of exotic ability. Who they are, exactly, nobody knows.
Colloquially referred to as EVOs, this half of society must adhere to robust regulations on how they live their lives or find themselves on the wrong side of the law. While most become superheroes or celebrities (or both), others choose to become outlaws, offering their extraordinary skills to those with the deepest pockets.

Characters
The (un)usual suspects
Then there are some that just want a normal life…
Nathalia Tasma "Taz" Banks
She gained extraordinary abilities and thought it was all fun and games until she nearly died fighting a cyborg.
Six months later, Taz has been trying to make ends meet as her physical wounds heal, but still bears the emotional scars of her harrowing ordeal. As she pursues a new degree at Acacia University she is desperate to keep her past a secret.
Archer Marrs
Taz’s little brother.
Moving from the country to the Big Smoke, Archer seeks to make a name for himself as an actor. He plans to sleep on Taz’s sofa and make her big sister’s life a living hell at the same time.
Professor Sebastian Ravenhall
An estranged acquaintance of Taz and one of the only people to know that she possesses extraordinary abilities. Sebastian is a lecturer at Acacia University.
Corrosion
A massive mechanical construct infused with human flesh, Corrosion went on a violent rampage six months ago, leaving many dead and injured, including some members of the premier superhero squad, The Alliance. Corrosion almost killed Taz, too, in her first – and last – outing as the Red Right Hand, but was eventually defeated and deactivated.
Corrosion’s current whereabouts are unknown.
