I just randomly picked up this comic, and my first impressions are really positive. The comic is about a being who goes by “The Anchor” who has no memory of who he was, but is aware of his purpose. His soul is in the underworld fighting to keep Demons there, and in his physical form he is fighting demons on earth. It is kind of fascinating how that is set up. Fighting two wars at once, literally at once, would be an overwhelming experience.
On Earth, you have the usual suspects, including a Colonel interested in using his powers for military purposes. It is very reminiscent of Brzrkr, Hulk, Wolverine and so on. There is often a military figure trying to control or exploit their powers. Anchor refuses to hurt humans, despite being tested on and restrained. He only fights monsters. That is unless someone makes a really poor strategic calculation and threatens his friend. Then things escalate quickly.
I have not finished the series yet, but I am enjoying it and recommend it if you are up for something different. This story has real potential to translate into a great film or series.
