New York Times best-selling author Robert Venditti (SUPERMAN ‘78- PLANET DEATH) joins forces with powerhouse artist Trevor Hairsine (DCEASED- X-MEN) and ten-time Eisner Award-winning colorist Dave Stewart (HELLBOY- STAR WARS) to deliver a brutal- no-holds-barred action crime comic that will leave you breathless. Father Royston Craig became a priest late in life but he's determined to make up for lost time. Along with his regular duties at his St. Louis church- he also performs the prayers of the last rites to patients on their deathbeds at the nearby hospital.One day- he's called to give these sacraments to Cormac Byrne- who doctors say won't last the night. Byrne- like many others- has turned to God only at the end; he hasn’t been to church in decades. Father Roy is eager to hear his confession- but what starts as petty crime from a lifetime ago quickly becomes a horrifying litany of gangland violence and killings. Cormac Byrne is no ordinary man. He is- in fact- the head of the Irish mafia. God offers forgiveness to all who truly repent- and Father Roy completes his task by absolving Byrne of his mortal sins- leaving the man to die at peace…...until the next morning. When Byrne makes a miraculous medical recovery. No longer at death’s door- Byrne is quick to return to his old ways. It’s business as usual and he’s got loose ends to tie up. First things first: KILL THE PRIEST who now knows where all the bodies are buried.But Father Roy’s collar wasn’t always white- and Byrne
