This ain’t the Wild West as you know it, partner! No, sir. With the arrival of superhuman beings, Earth-18 has been transformed into a whole different kind of frontier. Led by Superchief (AKA Saganowana), the Justice Riders have vowed to protect this dustbowl planet of the Multiverse. Boasting no shortage of fire power, the Justice Riders are made up of Bat-Lash, Madame .44, Strongbow, El Diablo, Cinnamon, the Trigger Twins, Firehair, Tomahawkman, Johnny Thunder and Pow-Wow Smith. These super-powered gunslingers, marshals and frontiersmen have banded together to tangle with the Time Trapper—a being responsible for freezing technology and culture on this world in the late 19th Century. As a result, human ingenuity has been forced to adapt and transform the available resources into the modern conveniences that are often taken for granted in the 21st Century. Utilizing cool spins on modern luxuries such as a telegraph internet, the Justice Riders must continue to stand tall and keep their sights set on the world’s varmints and troublemakers. For if they fail, Earth-18 will ride into the sunset, never to be seen again.
