In a world not far removed from our own, a city lies ravaged. Crime overruns
its streets; its citizens are helpless. Crimelord Robert Latham, to the
world-at-large a legitimate businessman, holds the city in his sway. Fear
and intimidation rule throughout. One man stands above the rest, willing to
fight for freedom.
That man is The Wraith.
The Wraith, the city’s bogeyman, is known to exist only by a very few, and
seen by even fewer. Those that do know of him, especially Latham, know to
fear him, for his fury at those who commit evil has no bounds. By day, the
Wraith is the reclusive billionaire Paul Sanderson, a man more mysterious
and less seen than his night-time counterpart. Sensing the desperation of
Latham and that his own time may be limited, Sanderson readies a
replacement, a man deemed worthy to continue in his stead, whether that man
likes it or not. That man is Michael Reeve, an honest cop, someone similarly
fighting for justice in a city where very little justice remains. It’s a
struggle for Reeve to come to terms with his new identity and the destiny
handed to him by someone he has only heard of but never seen.
Those around him are pulled, unwittingly and seeringly, into his nightmare.
In desperation, Latham calls in someone to finish the job, to ensure Metro
City finally becomes his, completely and utterly. Enter the Cobra, a
creature whose origins have been lost in the mists of time. A creature whose
sole purpose in life is to destroy—and conquer.
Can the new Wraith save his city even while he struggles to save his own
soul?
