The series showed Smith`s "dark side", as it was much more mature than his previous works. The series originally ran with 3 issues a year with repeated delays, but has now been changed to a bimonthly schedule. The series follows the art thief RASL, who jumps to parallel universes in attempts to steal parallel paintings, but soon runs into dangerous scenarios as he is pursued by the government.
