Una tempesta di rara violenza. Un uomo colpito dal morbo di Alzheimer, suo figlio, sua nuora e sua nipote. Un demone venuto da chissà dove. Una spada dotata di poteri incredibili, oltre che di una volontà propria, capace di ridare la salute a chi la brandisce. E un pantheon di divinità aliene pronte a fare di tutto per tornarne in possesso. Sono questi gli ingredienti della miniserie indipendente più spettacolare, emozionante e acclamata degli ultimi anni, che ha lanciato nell’Olimpo dei comics i suoi creatori, lo scrittore Donny Cates (Venom) e il disegnatore Geoff Shaw (Thanos). Una storia che è già un classico, fatta di battaglie, di amori perduti, di malattie, di rapporti familiari, di mondi lontanissimi e delle piccole e grandi difficoltà della vita di ogni giorno.
