Two years since the dead rose and the plague of ex-humanity decimated
mankind. For most of that time, the superhero called St. George,
formerly known to the world as the Mighty Dragon, has protected the
people of Los Angeles at their film studio-turned-fortress, The Mount.
Together with his fellow heroes--Cerberus, Zzzap, and Stealth--he's
tried to give the survivors hope and something like a real life. But the
swollen population of the Mount is becoming harder and harder to
sustain, and the heroes are feeling the pressure.
Hope arrives in the form of a United States Army battalion, based in a
complex a few hundred miles away in Arizona. This is not just any base,
however. The men and women of Project Krypton are super-soldiers,
designed and created before the outbreak to be better, stronger, and
faster than normal humans. They want the heroes and all the people of
the Mount to rejoin America and have normal lives again.
But can the military be trusted? And is there even a country left to
rejoin? There is a secret at the heart of Project Krypton, and those
behind it have an awesome power that will help them keep that secret
hidden. The power of Freedom.
