Plot
Last Man Standing: Killbook of a Bounty Hunter tells the story of Gabriel, a genetically engineered soldier. He is a warrior of supernatural strength, anointed as the guardian of Amerika and its people. Admired and celebrated by most, Gabriel’s world takes a sudden turn when he finds himself framed by the terrorist group Pandemonium, for a series of atrocious crimes that he had no part in. For these alleged crimes, Gabriel is sent to the treacherous Level-9 Prison Facility and incarcerated with the very scum he helped put away. After nine years of torture and agony, the once famed hero kills his captors and escapes the 9 levels of hell he has been condemned to. From here on forward, Gabriel embarks on a journey into the heart of darkness; the New Amerika, a world filled with colorful and deadly characters that will either help or try to eliminate him – neither of which motive is always apparent. As the once invincible hero digs deep to unravel the true reason behind his framing, he also discovers a problem he never had to face before: he's beginning to lose what once made him who he is, and fast.
