Unknown Origins
HDHeroes do not exist.

Jorge's encyclopedic knowledge about the comic world and the unexpected discovery of David's dark past will be fundamental in helping them solve the enigma hidden behind the awful crimes. The clues will guide them through the Spanish capital, along a labyrinth designed by a disturbed criminal mind and the only person who knows how to find the exit.

They say that, sometimes, it is necessary to put on a suit and get out there to make the world a better place. Maybe this is one of those times.
