Its writers were Jim Lee, Brandon Choi, Sean Ruffner and Brett Booth, who was also the artist.

This series stars Grifter and Backlash on a mission to rescue John Lynch and his assistant Alicia Turner.

Lynch and Turner had been kidnapped by a man called Bloodmoon and his group of mutated animals, the Kindred.

This ended up turning animals into intelligent, humanoid creatures with superhuman abilities.

He read through the files left on the island and started taking an experimental version of the Gen-factor, known as the Gen-serum.

Backlash and his friend, Dingo, also a Kindred, are sent to Griffis Air Force base to investigate multiple murders and theft.

Grifter catches a news report about the attack on the Air Force base and decides to investigate as well.

They also explain that the different Kindred-tribes have started warring and some have moved to different islands: Avian Kindred are isolationists, Reptillians are aggressive and the Mammals are peaceful.
