Max Fist was the greatest hero of a vast city in another universe. He saved his world from destruction but crashed through space and time... and wound up here - a desolate American suburb. Or so he says.

Powerless and a broken drunk, no one believes Max’s stories about his glory days until he meets a kid called Hamster. When the mob come after Hamster’s family, Max must learn what it means to be a hero — here, now, without superpowers — one brutal blow at a time.
