Plot summary[edit]

Kidnapped as a boy, Cedric Zhang – raised to fight in competitions – formed a bond with Christy, a young nurse. When she disappears with no explanation, Cedric immerses himself in the violent NYC underworld in an effort to locate her, finding himself back in the horrible world he spent his life trying to escape.[2]

Reception[edit]

Chad Nevett of Comic Book Resources stated that the story is "a very solid read, but a lesser Brian Wood work. There's a reason that it doesn't jump out at many when discussing his body of work".[3]
