The New Young Ward #1
In a futuristic world, the majestic metropolis of Justice City stands as a neon noir monument to a time long forgotten. The sprawling art deco skyscrapers surrounded by modern technology hides the cities darkest threats--an underbelly of crime and corruption with roots that extend back to the golden age when caped vigilantes helped protect the streets.
A DARK NIGHT
The execution of Doctor Acid has resulted in the shocking final, posthumous revenge of the supervillain--an explosive electromagnetic pulse that sets the bustling Justice City back to a mid-century metropolis. In a single moment, digital automation and instant access to information are replaced by hand cranks and typewriters. Two years later, most of the city has returned to normal, but at the flashpoint the mysterious radiation from the bomb still scars what visitors call a city trapped in a time capsule. Called the "Atomic Groves District" after a failed rebranding, it's not just the lack of technology that marks these neighborhoods. At night, there are reports of strange creatures, odd happenings, and even appearances of figures thought long dead.
Enter Rory McCullough--a brooding rich kid whose parents were murdered by Doctor Acid. Rory was there that fateful night of the execution and found himself the unwilling recipient of one of the late criminal's creations--a toxic biosuit that makes him almost invulnerable. But what will Rory do with this strange asset? And who will guide him on his chosen path--a journey that will reveal the future of the Retroverse and connect to a legacy both dark and fascinating!
