FIRST LOOK: DAMNED #1
Damned #1 will arrive in stores in October from Oni Press. The issue is written by Cullen Bunn, with art and cover by Brian Hurtt.
Here's how Oni Press describes the issue:
"During the prohibition era, gangsters grew rich on our nation's vices, and rivalries between criminal organizations resulted in open warfare and gangland murders. But unknown to the common man, a more sinister power controlled the crime cartels, using greed, gluttony, lust, and other sins to fuel a much more lucrative trade: mortal souls.
"Three demon families -- the Aligheris, the Roarkes, and the Verlochin -- control soul-trafficking within the city, capitalizing on 'the rackets' to lead unfortunates into their grasp. The two most powerful demon crime families, the Aligheris and the Roarkes are embroiled in a long-lasting war for dominance of the city's illegal activities, while the Verlochin Family works from the shadows and laments over how far the once proud demon orders have fallen.
"Alphonse 'Big Al' Aligheri has hatched a plan to end the feud with the Roarkes and consolidate their power. But before things can be finalized, the bookkeeper tasked to brokering the deal has disappeared along with a ledger that could spell doom for all the families. Hoping to find the missing bookkeeper before the deal falls apart, Big Al puts Eddie on the case.
"But there's more to this case than Eddie realizes. Mysterious figures shadow him; demons lose control their own actions; and the Roarke Family prepares to go back to war. Another player is making a push for dominance of the city, planning to crush the demons and Eddie along with them."
Damned #1 will be 48 pages and will cost $3.50.
