Sunday Trade: The Damned
The Damned Script and Story by Cullen Bunn, Art and Story by Brian Hurt
The Damned is high concept at its most perfect. Think Miller's Crossing with demons. And the story is one of those sadly rare times where the creators far and away deliver on the concept. The lead character is Eddie, your regular broken down cynical anti-hero. Except he can't stay dead. When someone touches his corpse, skin to skin, they take his death and drag him out of hell...
Eddie's boss needs him again so his corpse is revived from the half-empty field where its lying. The demon crime boss has a problem. Hell's sent up someone to broker the war between the cities two biggest demon crime families. And that negotiator has gone missing. So Eddie's been tapped to find him...
The Damned is perfect for fans of noir, crime movies or plain old good story-telling...
