Great jumping on point! Three years have passed since the Rough Riders’ last adventure, but when an assassin’s bullet takes President William McKinley’s life, Vice President Theodore Roosevelt is thrust into the role of Commander in Chief. As a country mourns the loss of their leader, Roosevelt believes that the assassin is part of a bigger conspiracy, one whose tentacles reach back to Europe and whose intentions are to destroy humanity through world- wide ANARCHY.
To stop them, Roosevelt must convince Harry Houdini, Jack Johnson, Thomas Edison and a surprisingly very alive Annie Oakley to band together again. But time has strained the bonds that once united them and the ideologies of their enemies may have already seeped into one of their own. Welcome to ROUGH RIDERS: RIDERS ON THE STORM.

“HEAD ‘EM UP, MOVE ‘EM OUT!”
In the wake of President McKinley’s death, Teddy Roosevelt’s suspicions about a LARGER CONSPIRACY have all but been confirmed. But before being sworn into office as the new President, Teddy vows to bring down those responsible for this national tragedy—no matter the cost. It’s up to Teddy and his ROUGH RIDERS to investigate just how far this Anarchist web reaches. However, as our heroes grow closer to discovering who’s behind this mystery, they find themselves questioning everything they’ve ever believed.
Created and written by Adam Glass (executive producer of Supernatural & writer of Suicide Squad) with cover by Patrick Olliffe (Untold Tales of Spider-Man).[/quote]
