In Excelsior City trouble finds everybody. Lang Lofton's busy managing his media empire from atop the Kryse Building , weighing a mayoral run, and, oh yeah, roaming the night as a masked vigilante. He's got an new problem too: no villains left to defeat. Until his mortal enemy Archetype gets released from Belfry Hospital for the Criminally Insane. And just as Venus Diamond is set to display at the city’s Supernatural Wonders Museum. Besides, there’s a new player in town. Coincidence? Never.
A rollicking superhero adventure novelette, with humor and a little bit of heart.
