Is The Raven a trickster or a hero?

Nakai and Nizoni Proudtree are Native American kids growing up on the wrong side of the tracks. And in Shadowtown, it's not cool to root for superheroes.

Especially when the most powerful hero in town is on the warpath. An insidious cult murdered the heroine Coyote. Now her partner, Medicine Man, hungers for revenge.

Caught between a rampaging metahuman and the dangers of his own neighborhood, Nakai must choose his destiny: join the local gang or bend his secret talents toward heroism?
