With the help of a young boy named Ace Barlow, he takes up the fight against the dangerous Ricarno Gang, forging an unlikely partnership that spans eras. Art by Pierce Rice and Louis Cazeneuve brings the story to life, while Bert Whitman’s cover captures the stark, mysterious tone of the tale.
In a forgotten corner of a 1940s museum, the ancient warrior Caius awakens after two millennia, his power awakened not by time, but by the echoes of a boy’s peril. When he sees Ace Barlow in danger from the brutal Ricarno Gang, he steps in—first as protector, then as mentor—binding his fate to the orphan’s in a modern-day crusade. With no history to guide him, only instinct and the weight of a past he barely remembers, Caius and Ace forge a new legacy, one punch and one promise at a time.
