After Lawrence Miller's teenage son's tragic death from an overdose, he cannot shake the sense that his son's soul is lost and wandering between heaven and earth. Grieving and deeply disturbed, Miller makes a fateful decision to commit suicide to pursue his son into the afterlife.

As Lawrence begins to wage a brutal campaign of retribution, he realizes that he has lost his way.
I am a single issue collector, but I have found a fewtrades in my time which I must have, and this has become one of them. I look forward to future arcs following The Shepherd and The Wolf! Read Full Review
