Death Vigil
I just got the TPB for Death Vigil by Stjepan Sejic, and read through the whole thing.
Then I did so again, because it's that good ^^
It's about the latest member of the Death Vigil, a group of people brought back to life by, well, basically a grim reaper, to fight the servants of 'the Enemy,' the monstrous Primordials and the Necromancers who summon them. It's horror/action/comedy with art that's good even by Sejic standards, and of modern supernatural vs supernatural stuff, it does a very good job of being very distinct from any other I've read or watched. And a heck of a lot more fun than most!
The monsters are at the same time both lovecraftian, but have a human connection, and the abilities of the Vigil are interesting. I like every last Vigil member we meet. And that's before getting into Mia! The Necromancers make for good, often-tragic foes themselves.
It's quite possibly my favorite work by Sejic's now, surpassing even Sunstone and his Top Cow works in my eyes. Which is not easy!
Rating: A. Buy. Read. You'll probably like it a lot!
*Edit*
The Author released the first issue for free.
And the second.
So you can try it out for yourself!
