Do not be deceived by the cuddly cuteness of some of the characters. David Hopkin's JACK starts as a horrific tale of murder, death and rage, but also of love, joy and discovering the truth.

We follow Jack, also called Wrath, who is designated the gatherer of souls of the dead. What makes him different from his six other brother Sins is that he genuinely cares for the souls and tries to help them reach Heaven or Purgatory, anything but hell. But what of Jack's past? He was alive once too and Heaven's angels seem to be shunning him for a reason.

This comic asks a very important question: "When are we responsible for our actions?" JACK takes us through situation after situation, intruducing characters ridden by guilt, anger, lust, or if they were lucky, love beyond death. Each character must decide their path, because eventually Jack will be there to take them to their Judgment.

Last Warning: The characters are drawn as "furries". The furry culture is extremely underground and the characters sometimes speak furry slang. If you don't know a few words I suggest you Google them.
