Vault Comics announced the upcoming release of Godfather of Hell, a new supernatural crime series from Cavan Scott and Pius Bak.
In GODFATHER OF HELL, Dario Santini has lived a charmed life as an enforcer and debt collector for mob boss Niccolò Mechini. He’s had it all: respect, power, even the love of a good woman. But everything changes when he crosses a line and is shot dead on the sidewalk. Waking up in Hell, Dario faces a future of pain and suffering… unless he can turn eternal damnation into a business opportunity.
“Two of my favourite genres collide in GODFATHER OF HELL: gangster noir and exorcist terror,” said Scott in a press release. “Brace yourself for visceral body horror, lashings of black humor, and moments of super-cool swagger brought to life by Pius’ neon-soaked art. It’s sexy, gritty, and downright terrifying!
“Most exorcist dramas focus on the human victims and their saviors, but GODFATHER OF HELL flips the script, telling the story of multiple possessions from the point of view of the demons themselves. Our guide to the ultimate criminal underworld is Dario, a mob enforcer who, after a fatal shooting, receives an unexpected business proposition from one of Satan’s lieutenants. Hell, Dario quickly realizes, is just another racket, and if there’s one thing Dario knows, it’s how to work rackets. Can he play the Devil at his own game to save those he loves from eternal damnation? Or will he finally lose his soul?
“GODFATHER OF HELL is a demonic noir where human souls are collateral, and damnation lurks on every street corner: a truly twisted tale of possession, passion, and powerplay. I can’t wait for everyone to meet the devil’s new debt collector!”
Godfather of Hell #1 arrives in October 2024.
