== Publisher's summary ==
Events quickly whip themselves into a frothy bloodbath, as the strongarm of the British Secret Service, named the Ratcatchers, try to capture Mayakatula much to their chagrin - not to mention repeated disembowelment. Meanwhile, Sabbath has an impromptu duel, and Mother Francesca has a colorful, albeit somewhat civilized discussion with a prostitute in a bar. It's more fun and skull-faced merriment in Faction Paradox #3, "Creatures of Habit", from your buds at Image and Mad Norwegian Press.
