District X cops Izzy Ortega and Gus Kucharsky are responding to a call about a woman being held against her will when things go terribly wrong. The woman turns out to be a mutant who has an overpowering effect on men and she uses her gift to cause Gus to kill her husband and herself. Izzy covers for his wounded partner but the two are facing a tough inquiry from internal affairs. While Gus recovers in the hospital, the chief tells Izzy that he will be working with a special detective on investigating the high crime rate in District X--enter Bishop.
Publisher’s description
A new Marvel series! Welcome to Mutant Town, the dark corner of New York City where the long arm of the law has been severed clean. Here, the mutant population doesn't sport GQ style or champagne dreams. They eke out each day in squalid tenement rows and filthy streets where only one man and one law can be trusted: the X-Man Bishop. Officers Gus Kucharsky and Ismael Ortega are assigned to New York's 11th Precinct, commonly known as District X or 'Mutant Town'. While investigating allegations that Jake Costanza is holding his mutant wife against her will and abusing her, Kucharsky falls under Mrs. Costanza’s mutant mental powers and kills them both, before attempting to take his own life. Gus survives and Ortega covers for him. Gus is forced to retire early and Izzy is assigned to serve as the liaison to federal agent, Lucas Bishop.
