Plot

"Iron and the Maiden" is a four issue mini-series portraying an alternate-universe 1930s metropolis. "The City" is struggling to survive a three-way battle for power between The Government, the ominous religious sect The Order, and the seedy criminal underbelly led by The Syndicate. Caught in the middle of this war for power, Michael Iron discovers firsthand the meaning of sacrifice, his only hope for survival coming in the form of a forgiving Angel and several more unexpected surprises along the way.

Rubin has described it as "a cross between a '30's gangster film, "Escape from New York", and "Beauty and the Beast"." [ [http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=84941 Jason Rubin on "Iron and the Maiden"] , Newsarama, September 21, 2006]
