Thomas Judge is man living a life of nihilism and despair. He is a former priest who became disillusioned when some of his counsel had disastrous results. He now consorts with prostitutes while getting high on cocaine, bourbon or whatever is available. His dreams are a disturbing mix of demonic images. When he discovers a necklace with a cross hidden inside the wall of his tenement apartment, his existence is irrevocably altered. In the next few minutes a number of demons appear, as well as a woman named Tilly who shoots the one who had been Judge’s paid companion. Oh yeah, then he becomes a demon and sees God.

This title is a mix of horror and religious mysticism with McFarlane-influenced art by Clayton Crain. As the name implies, this book will bring a unifying storyline to the Top Cow universe, tying in to The Darkness and WitchBlade.
