Lady Justice. She is Justice. Represented since the beginning of time as a robed woman, blinded, armed with naught but a sword and a sense of balance. A woman cut off from the masculine world of clues and hard realities, forced into the depths of her remaining senses: touch, smell, taste, hearing. A woman joined with her innermost self, focused only on her mission. A woman who cannot be deceived, cannot be fooled. A woman blind¨ to all but justice. In times of trouble, the spirit of Justice appears before women and offers them the chance to take revenge on their male abusers.
Synopsis:
A crippled ballerina becomes the bloody incarnation of justice, a ruthless killing machine.
A wheelchair bound ex-dancer sees several loved ones die during a raid on the hospital blood bank. Gaining power from Lady Justice, she hunts down first the actual killer, whom she dances to death, and then the organization behind the murder.
The premise for the series involves a blindfolded spirit, draped in chains forged by injustice, choosing an avatar to mete out justice and set the balance right. The avatars are woman recently wronged who cannot find peace through any other means. Once the avatar dons a blindfold of her own, she gains the powers of Lady Justice.

Neil Gaiman wrote the award-winning graphic novel series The Sandman, and with Terry Pratchett, the award-winning novel Good Omens. His first book for children, The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, illustrated by Dave McKean, hasn't yet won any awards, but was one of Newsweek's Best Children's Books of 1997. Angels & Visitations, a small press story collection, was nominated for a World Fantasy Award and won the International Horror Critics Guild Award for Best Collection, despite not having any horror in it. Well, hardly any.Born in England, he now makes his home in America, in a big dark house of uncertain location where he grows exotic pumpkins and accumulates computers and cats. He is currently at work turning his first novel Neverwhere into a film for Jim Henson films.
Asked why he likes comics more than other forms of storytelling Gaiman said “One of the joys of comics has always been the knowledge that it was, in many ways, untouched ground. It was virgin territory. When I was working on Sandman, I felt a lot of the time that I was actually picking up a machete and heading out into the jungle. I got to write in places and do things that nobody had ever done before. When I’m writing novels I’m painfully aware that I’m working in a medium that people have been writing absolutely jaw-droppingly brilliant things for, you know, three-four thousand years now. You know, you can go back. We have things like The Golden Ass. And you go, well, I don’t know that I’m as good as that and that’s two and a half thousand years old. But with comics I felt like — I can do stuff nobody has ever done. I can do stuff nobody has ever thought of. And I could and it was enormously fun.”
