The Metropolis Story...Part I

Poet/Champion turned reporter/Champion (hey, the vampire thing was involuntary) for the second least respectable news organization in Metropolis, William Soames Walthrop aka William the Bloody aka Spike is assigned the job of uncovering the secret behind the mysterious silence of a famed, deceased silent film star of the great film inspired by the greatest city on Earth. A secret that may affect his own destiny. However, both the other reporter/Champion and other reporter/seedy investigator of things mysterious in town hate his guts to varying extents.
