Kind of Strong. Sort of Hard to Kill.

New York' in the Eighties. Tough place for a struggling young African-American superhero like RJ (kinda strong, sorta hard to kill) to fight crime, make the rent, and hold on to his love life. Tough enough, that is, even before the city's mightiest champions enter a transdimensional rift, answering a call-to-arms against alien invaders. Now it's up to Red Jacket and a handful of other "rear guardians" to hold the world's greatest metropolis together.
Or die trying.
