The Kingpin was finally brought down, leaving a massive hole in New York’s seedy underbelly. Gangsters, two-bit criminals and even super-powered villains see their opportunity to step out from behind his shadow. This has turned New York into a warzone dragged into open conflict between all those who want to be the new king.
