Hell-bent & Heaven bound: Part 2/4
A police deputy by the name of Kowalski digs into the town's past and finds a connection between a strange incident in 1845 and the fatal accidents on highway 18. He visits a descendant of the sole survivor of that incident. Meanwhile, Blaze is attacked by the nurses from last issue, servants of Zadkiel, an angel that wants to overthrow God from Heaven.
Nothing special but makes you want to read further.
