Guest prequality Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 never heard of it. what's it about? It's an interesting cross between spaghetti western and the supernatural. The "hero" or protagonist is a man by the name of Ivan Isaac, a priest who had lost his faith and renounced God for the sake of vengeance. He is the crucial piece in a battle between two demons, Temozarela, a fallen angel and Belial, an inquisitor who had forsaken his religion and made an unholy covenant with Temozarela to imprison him. Ivan releases both of them and as a result, Temorazela's evil is unleashed upon the Wild West and Belial is unable to contain him. The result is devastation and the death of Ivan Isaac's one and only love who was the sacrifice needed to release the demonic entities. Eventually, Belial strikes a deal with Ivan Isaac and grants him the power to carry out his revenge in exchange for his soul. Zombies against the backdrop of the wild west, demons, fallen angels and a US Marshall's party on their pursuit are just some of the things to expect from the manga. I don't want to spoil the rest of the story for anybody interested but one thing's for sure, it gets both my thumbs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
