"Now Gotham has an even darker knight. Gotham City is a hotbed of crime and corruption. But one small neighborhood doesn't fear the evil that surrounds it. A champion they barely understand—a gruesome angel who takes his name from a child's rhyme—protects them. He calls himself Simon Dark. And he has no idea who he is or where the patchwork scars that line his body came from. All he knows is that he wants to do good. But protecting his neighborhood won't be easy when the opposing forces of dark magicand forbidden science choose it as their battleground. It will take the help of a beautiful coroner and a smitten teenaged girl to help Simon stitch together the pieces of his former life and solve the mystery of his birth—or else death waits for them all" — p. [4] of cover.
