Itâs hard out there for a supervillain. Not the world conquerors, chaos engines, or arch-nemeses⊠but the little guys, the career criminals. The ones who put on uniforms, knock over jewelry stores, and get tied to telephone poles before the hero swings off to face the actual big bad. Times are tough for costumed crooks⊠and theyâre about to get much worse. The psychotic Stickman has done the unthinkable and murdered Kid Dusk, sidekick to Twilight Cityâs premier crime-fighter, The Insomniac. The Insomniacâs teammates, The Continuum, are tearing Twilight apart, turning it into a terrifying police stateâdesperate to capture the Stickman and stop the Insomniac from âcrossing that final lineâ in which he may never come back from.
Caught in the middle are the small-time c-list villains, finding it impossible to pull jobs or even walk down the street without being harassed by these heroes. With a bounty on the Stickmanâs head, former villain Playtime decides to put together a ragtag team of equally disgruntled supervillains to take down the Stickman and kill him themselves. Leading her on a dark journey into the criminal underbelly sheâs tried so hard to escape.
