About the series
In this 1990–1991 Marvel miniseries, writer-artist Rod Whigham (with co-writer Roy Richardson) crafts a six-issue saga set in a near-future where the heirs of classic heroes must step out of their mentors' shadows. Blending political intrigue with super-powered action, the story explores legacy and responsibility as a new generation of knights defends a world grown cynical of its protectors. A thoughtful, character-driven experiment from Marvel's early '90s line, it stands as a compact meditation on what it means to inherit a mantle.
