Bob Saetta made the biggest mistake of his life by pissing off his brother, one of the biggest and most brutal crime bosses in New York City. This is the story of two brothers at war, wrapped in a special package of extreme language and hardcore violence. A five-issue adrenaline ride that rips the roof off Brooklyn’s criminal underworld!

Back to Brooklyn is a crime-based action drama about Bob Saetta, the number-two-man and chief hitter for Brooklyn’s Saetta crime family. Unfortunately for Bob, he knows too much. “Having discovered a horrific secret about his boss and older brother, Paul, Bob is trying to save his wife and son from his family’s wrath while avoiding the violent attentions of Paul’s soldiers,” Garth Ennis told CBR News. “All Brooklyn is out to get our hero, believing that he has turned rat – the result of a deal he’s supposed to have cut with the NYPD. Bob is gambling that he’s resourceful enough to survive on his home turf, but the ghastly truth about his brother is only the tip of the iceberg. The streets Bob knows so well have become a killing ground, and the horrors and depravity lurking there will stagger even a hardened killer like himself.”

After making his proposal very clear an the police contemplate letting Bob go they decide to allow him back to Brooklyn to find his wife an son. He takes care of a few thugs with a shotgun and a bucket…yes a bucket.
