Political Animals was the first comic story in the Faction Paradox series.
Publisher's summary
A "War in Heaven" is raging between time-active cultures, each seeking to usurp control of history. Into this conflict comes Faction Paradox – a group of time terrorists whose appetite for chaos threatens to subvert the entire timeline. Part story, part history and part puzzle-box, this is a chronicle of protocol and paranoia in a War where the greatest victory of all is to hold on to your own past.
In 1774, England's eccentric King George III gathers the world's powers – including the American colonials, the Prussians and the enigmatic emissaries of Faction Paradox – in London for a hunt of epic proportions. But as part of this, a serving-girl named Isobel fatefully encounters the Americans' "hunting dog," a bone-wielding warrior named Mayakatula, leading to devastating and bloody consequences for this crucible of history.
