Issue 1

**Issue 1** is the first and debut issue of Infinite Comics' Fallen Heroes, and the first part of Volume 1: The Fracture.

## Plot Synopsis

13 years ago, an infamous group of superheroes known as the Sentinels, led by a superhero known as Unity, battle a mysterious army known as the Deviance. They almost lose, causing them to call in every known superhero and villain to fight them off. The war almost ends the world, but Unity and his team sacrifice their own lives to save the world, seemingly ending the threat. Their sacrifice initiates an event called “The Fracture”, which causes the remaining superheroes and villains to go into hiding, ending the existence of superheroes. In the aftermath, billionaire Christopher Avian takes over protective duties of Earth, as the superheros that remain are outlawed by the United Nations.

In the present day, superpowered individuals have been practically erased from existence due to a lack of crime fighting. Teenage Superhero enthusiast Mia Kincaid believes that there are still superheroes out there. However, her obsession causes her to become an outcast at school, much to the chagrin of her mother Kiana.

In Jakarta, CIA Agent Gareth Pearce and his partner Danica Brecken infiltrate a weapons shipment deal going between two parties, with one party led by criminal mastermind Deacon Bronx. Pearce realizes that the weapons being sold are made out of Utopium, the most powerful substance on Earth, and he and Brecken raid the parties, arresting several of them. Bronx, however, escapes, with Pearce attempting to capture him. Bronx stops and taunts Pearce, asking about “his past”. Pearce is left dumbfounded as Bronx escapes, and Pearce laments to Brecken that Bronx is aware of who he is.

Back in New York, Avian attends a meeting with investors of his company, Avian Enterprises, and learns that his investors have become disillusioned with his company, wanting out. Avian asks why they want to leave, and one investor notes that the company is worried that Avian Enterprises is dealing in Utopium. Avian assures them that he is not, but the investor later shares photos of Avian Enterprises employee Emiko Takaya dealing with Bronx. An angered Avian orders Takaya to kill the investor, and Takaya protrudes a large scythe from her arm, gruesomely killing the investor as Avian orders Takaya to clean up her mess.

At school, Mia begins looking up potential sightings of a superpowered individual named Lomax, who was seen heading into an apartment fire to save a young family. Mia relentlessly bullied by Miranda Lipsey, who humiliates her for believing in heroes. On her way home, Mia walks through an alleyway, but encounters Takaya, who brushes past her. Mia follows her, and witnesses a meeting between Takaya and Bronx. Bronx promises to get the money for the shipment, but Takaya murders Bronx for his failure as Mia watches in horror. Takaya sees her, and gives chase, but Mia manages to evade her.

Mia hides from Takaya, who sets out to find her. She gets a call from Kiana, who asks where she is, but the call gives her away and Takaya quickly chases her. As Takaya corners her, Mia is quickly saved by an unknown shadow, who throws Takaya through the wall. Mia gets a very brief glimpse at her savior, and quickly believes that she is looking at Unity, whom everyone thought was dead.
