by Eric Gordon March
Some monsters slumber in ancient tombs. Some come from the stars. In New York City, 1883, the heart of the Gilded Age, something is awakening them. Who stands in their way? Enter the Vigilants, a plucky team of gifted misfits. But their leader is a pampered young man who hasn't worked a day in his life. Can he become a responsible adult in time to save the Earth? With the help of his comrades, he just might. Humanity can't wait for him to mature; it needs its hero right now. Fate has fallen on unprepared shoulders. We hope she has chosen wisely. There is plenty to doubt. “In terms of subjective entertainment, this is a genuine 5/5 ...
