To those that lived in the age of heroes, this would be the future. To those that live here, there is no future. For life is a zombied existence spent toiling in factories and huddled in rations lines -- all under the heel of the mechanical enforcers known as the Bio-Technic Law. That is, until the old man with the crutch emerges from the shadows, choosing mere boys to unearth a forgotten legacy. A power buried for untold years . . . in the Graveyard of Heroes. Enter Johnny Stomp. The Second Story Kid. And Rags Murphy, Man of the Cloth. Together, they will fill the shoes of the greatest heroes to ever walk the earth.

Terceron City is home to many murderers and manipulators -- it's overpopulated, over-industrialized, and totally corrupt. It's also home to many heroes, including the super-clean superteam Allegiance. But where Allegiance isn't getting the job done, Terceron's latest resident, The Heretic, has no such obstructions. A rogue from an ancient brotherhood of religious assassins, The Heretic has renounced both his murderous past and Allegiance's code of honor. Terceron City's going to get a whole lot better, or he's going to see that it dies trying.
