Politics can be murder, especially when elections have been replaced with superhuman grudge matches. When the events that would catalyze the United States Constitution are interrupted by a lone, masked man, history is set on a course that, while rife with epic battles between would-be saviors and conquerors, is not altogether unrecognizable from our own. The Mantle is an action driven political satire that spans over two hundred years and follows two protagonists as each tries his best to make some sense out of the mad world they inhabit.
