    John Carpenter's Asylum HC (2014 Storm King) 1-1ST

    Volume 1 - 1st printing. Collects Asylum (2013 Storm King) #1-5. Based on a story by John Carpenter. Adapted by Bruce Jones. Art by Leonardo Manco. There's a war coming to the City of Angels.

Father Daniel Beckett has seen demons and he's spoken to the Devil, but he can't say the same about God or his angels. Obsessed and driven as much by betrayal as righteousness and anger as redemption, he walks the smoke-filled homeless encampments of lost souls, like Dante's nine rings of the Inferno. He is God's warrior... at war with God. With this step into the comic book world, John Carpenter brings it all to the serial world he's loved since childhood. Supernatural horror with that twist of fate that only flawed mankind can provide! Hardcover, 128 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $34.99.
