  • Apocalypse Rising on July 15, 2012
    star star star star star
    An excellent read, a mixture of Wings of Desire with Good Omens and a little Hellboy thrown in. Plenty of mythological/fantastic elements to chew on, and memorable characters that go beyond the standard cardboard cut-outs of good and evil.
