Brian Kinney came to Astro City with one goal in mind... of proving himself to be someone special, and noteworthy by joining the heroes of the city. And now, he's accomplished that goal. As Altar Boy, sidekick to the mysterious Confessor, he patrols the streets at night, learning from his dark new mentor. But something is missing from his success. With the Shadow Hill Killer still running loose, and the heroes apparent inability to stop it, the Mayor and people begin to lose faith. And questions about his new mentor have begun to crop up in Brian's mind, but he can't quite give voice to his dark suspicions about the Confessor's nature.
