In a world beyond the sight of mortals, Heaven and Hell wage war for the souls of mankind. Principal among God’s legion are seven archangels written about in religious texts for millennia. But there is an eighth archangel, known only from passing allusions in Apocrypha, who operates under a different code. Fighting without God’s sanction, he faces the enemy on his own terms, and shows just how bad good can be.
Thoughts….This series is great, gets straight into it and doesn’t let up. The first issue sets everything in place for the series, leaving some mystery to unfold over the course of the 5 issues. We get a good look at what 8 is capable of and we get the tones of the series shown quite nicely, think Punisher Max level of violence. As the series continues, we get to learn more about all the players in the story and who his target really is. The art work is good throughout and some of the imagery is really great especially when there is anything to do with the Angels in their more traditional form. With the last issue the motivations of the main target are revealed and trying not to give too much away I was expecting 8 to switch sides. This is a great first arc and although it’s been a while now since this was released, I do hope they do more with this character.
I would give this series 8 out of 10 and anyone that is missing some Punisher action should definitely check this one out
