Who is behind the drug called BLISS? Who leads the Street Gods that turned our sweet hero into a killer? What choices did Benton make to fall so far, and how have these choices driven his family apart?
The monstrous goddess Lethe emerges to defend Benton's honor as his son Perry fights for his father's life in court. Breaking Bad meets Neil Gaiman's Sandman in an urban fantasy unlike any you've ever seen.
I teared up at the beginning of this book and my heart felt heavier with reading every word that Sean wrote and every picture that Caitlin drew on the pages. Seeing the homeless vet, the lonely lady on the subway, and the family at Thanksgiving all struck chords that sit close to home. The ending of this book is such a huge switch in a direction that if this is any clue of how the rest of the series is going to go, Im not sure if my emotions can take the ride! Read Full Review

We get to delve further into this morally grey world, where the lure of Bliss is high, the love of a father for his son outweighing everything else.

Stories like this play to all the strengths of the medium in telling a story that wouldn’t work in other formats, and are a great reminder why comics are an excellent medium for telling stories that go beyond the stereotyped superhero tales.
