Synopsis
Blood Brothers opens in the present day inside the renowned, and in the meantime rented, Alamo perched on a cliff in New Mexico. The brothers, Redmond and Blutarch Mann, are inside attempting to put aside their differences in light of the fact that neither of them have an heir. Still kept alive by their life-extending machines, they discuss their dim prospects. After dismissing their caretakers, Blutarch proposes a truce in order that they may make one of them pregnant to produce an heir. They both agree that it is a wonderful idea and congratulate each other on suggesting the meeting via a tear-stained letter only to find that neither of them had sent one.
They are interrupted by the sounds of their caretakers being stabbed and a curious voice matter-of-factly stating, "Gentlemen."
It is Gray Mann, their long-long brother. He is just as old as the two brothers, but has an advanced, mobile version of a life-extending machine embedded in his spine. He reveals that he had sent the letters proposing the truce and berets the two brothers for being so idiotic as not to recognize it.
Redmond and Blutarch fail to recognize their brother as it has been a long time since they last saw him. They attempt to enlist his help to build a pregnancy machine.
The comic then flashes back to 1822 in the stately hall of Mann Manor. A young Zepheniah Mann and his associate, Barnabus Hale, are discussing strategy during which, his wife, Bette, is undergoing childbirth. The midwife, Patience Meriweather informs Zepheniah that his wife had died while giving birth to three sons, Redmond, Blutarch, and Gray. Barnabus is distraught while Zepheniah is indifferent.
The babies are healthy with Redmond and Blutarch starting their life-long hatred of each other. However, the third baby, Gray, is underweight, but precocious; he can talk. Suddenly, the Scourge of London, the Eagle attacks, crashing through a window and kidnapping baby Gray.
The comic returns to the present with Gray remarking that he had learned to talk while listening to his mother in the womb and deriving a new form of algebra to pass the time. He remarks bitterly that his father never accepted him as he was born weak. He learned to live with the eagle, growing stronger, and eventually, eating her and her children to return to civilization.
He quietly watched in the background, building his own fortune and empire while Redmond and Blutarch squandered the father's fortune. Fed up with the brothers' pointless bickering he plotted against them and kills them in cold blood. The comic closes with him holding the blood-stained knife and watching the horizon towards Mann Co.
