Yes yes yes yes yes. All of the yes. This is some of Ed Brubaker's best. I love this already. I can't wait to see where this story is going to go.

This one begs the question: BUT WHY?
An extremely pathetic guy decides to kill himself because… because… well, uh, I guess because his best friend, a girl, is not in love with him? Or because she pities him? Something like that? And he is so f*cking pathetic that he fails at that too, by the way. As a result of his failed suicide attempt, a monster/demon starts visiting him to ask for souls, in exchange of his. And he finds out that he is a bloodthirsty psychopath.
There you have it. Whether you would enjoy something like that, or not, is up to you. I was facepalming the entire time.

Having never read Criminal or some of Brubaker's more famous works, this was a pretty great introduction to his writing (though I have read his Captain America stuff, which was great). I'm definitely going to be picking this up in trades and getting my hands on more of his work.
