This collection represents what I really like most about comics: pleasure, drama, large motion, heroes we are able to relate to and fall in love with, and villains we’ll like to despise. This collection may be very excessive idea—but its characters stay relatable and grounded in actuality—all whereas now we have an epic, large-scale battleground of demonic tanks, floating battleships and demon troopers pitted against witchcraft-infused weaponry and armored troopers.

All of that is the backdrop for our hero, Rion, and his solid of enjoyable and thrilling demon hunters. So to say that I’m excited to be engaged on this new collection can be one in all the greatest understatements of my profession!
