Dead Letters Vol. 1 by Chris Visions, Matt Battaglia, Ruth Redmond, Christopher Sebela
4.0
I have zero idea what book Sam read, though it's been a year and a half, so he probably doesn't either.
Our story opens with an amnesiac waking up in a grungy motel room with a gun beside him and the phone ringing. The caller says the above and we're off to the races without knowing why.
We eventually learn that we are in a limbo of sorts and are being recruited to hunt down some woman by a representative of god. Limbo is exactly what you expect, if what you expect is a 1930's gang war (I mean, that's what I expect). Our lead is a bad man who does bad things to worse people, and basically plays everyone against the middle while trying to learn the truth while everyone is lying to him. That anything he does works is a little convenient, and the whole work is a little wordy (holy crap, you have to read!!! Like words and stuff!!!), but I had a grand time with it.
My main gripe, besides the above convenience, is that there are a couple of time when they are flipping between two scenes quickly and the art doesn't help enough with keeping things straight. But it was still fun, and I'm going to read some more.
They're coming, Sam. You'd better start running.

Do you ever wonder whether a lie is a lie if god tells it?
