"Would you say 'Howl' has literary merit?" (Howl, 2010 (go and find out, watch the movie))
Just a little journal entry on a comic I stayed up LITERALLY all night reading. I started from the beginning, which is exactly where I recommend starting. For the ladies and gentlemen who are starting late like I had, I present a very awesome comic.

I had a handful of tear-jerking moments, which is a Very rare thing for me being so emotionless sometimes. If this series was a god, I'd make living sacrifices to it, but it's not so that won't be an issue, I assure you. :3
Also, be sure to know the characters. They make multiple appearances down the (long) road.
To get on the journal's discussion, I absolutely love this series as I said before. I heard of it long before and was quite set off as it sounded (almost exactly by the way it was described) like Piers Anthony's On A Pale Horse, which will be a favorite of mine. Since it sounded like a copy; I lifted my head and turned the other way, contented that I had avoided a copy cat story.
Not to surprise anyone, but I was wrong. This story has a few similarities to Piers Anthony's story, but this one carries itself so well. And it looks into a lot of issues, not in just the living aspect but also the after life's issues. I find myself being quite frustrated with Heaven whenever a dweller of hell finds out there is a way out, but figures out he or she has to find out on their own.
The most frustrating part is the Angels. They do nearly nothing. They seem almost useless. There are, of course, some exceptions during the story. *sigh* If anyone else has more to bring on the subject, go ahead. :)

I may have misunderstood. Maybe when you said the Real truth you just meant that you think all religions are lies. Which is not Exactly the case, but I only assume they may have gotten it somewhat right.
And I only meant the angels based in the series. They are assholes, don't know about the real ones. >>
