Vigilante: New York War

Vigilante

In the grim underbelly of New York City on Earth-56732, Adrian Chase has worn the mask of Vigilante for fifteen relentless years — a one-man crusade against the rot that the Justice League’s spotlight never reaches. A former district attorney turned executioner, Adrian long abandoned faith in the legal system after seeing corruption infect both the courts and capes alike. His war reignites when Lennie Allen — a ruthless British aristocrat turned drug kingpin — brings a new narcotic empire to the city. Protected by an army of mercenaries and politicians on his payroll, Lennie’s network poisons the streets and tightens its grip on the city’s pulse. To take him down, Adrian must cross lines even he once swore never to breach. As Vigilante hunts through the blood-soaked alleys of Gotham’s sister city, he faces a war not just for justice, but for his soul. His pursuit of Lennie drags him through nightclubs, docks, and luxury penthouses — each encounter more brutal and desperate than the last. When Adrian uncovers that Lennie’s trade funds a larger network tied to foreign syndicates, his mission transforms from vengeance to eradication. Haunted by ghosts of his victims and hunted by both heroes and police, Adrian Chase becomes the embodiment of moral decay — a man who fights monsters by becoming one. In the end, only one truth remains: redemption may be impossible, but punishment is absolute.
