Media Release -- In a Prohibition-era world where demonic princes pull the strings that make crime families dance, Eddie is a mortal with two things working for him. First of all, he can't die. Well, he can and does, quite often, but he doesn't stay down for long. Second, Eddie runs the Gehenna Room, a nightclub with a strict "no demons allowed" policy. But blessings and curses don't look all that different these days, and failing to tell the two apart can get a guy killed—over and over again in Eddie's case. So when one of Eddie's old pals shows up seeking sanctuary, Eddie knows he's in for a double-cross, and that means walking the line between salvation and damnation once more.

Praise for THE DAMNED
"The Damned is a perfect blend between horror and crime. It takes the best aspects of both genres, bringing them together to make something scary yet intriguing." HorrorTalk
"The book crackles with the flair of those classic gangster films of Old Hollywood starring the likes of Jimmy Cagney but with a little bit of Hellboy brand of creature horror thrown in." mental_floss
"From an introduction of an anti-hero that complex, to meeting various horned demonic mobsters, and to the typical cast of dames, cheap hoods, and tommy guns that all noir novels are incomplete without, this story grabs you by the face while simultaneously unweaving a complex murder mystery. I enjoyed every second." AiPTcomics
"[...] a hellacious, high-octane romp through Prohibition-era America." Broken Frontier
"You can't ask for better. Pick this up and enjoy… if you like dark, well written, well drawn comics then this is for you." Forces of Geek
"The Damned is like Miller's Crossing...THE RIVER STYX. Bunn and Hurtt artfully weave crime, comics and damnation into a can't miss story that's hard-boiled as HELL." Jason Latour (Southern Bastards, Spider-Gwen)
"The Damned had me by the nose from page one—and that's before a giant demon baby smashed another demon into a bloody pulp." Sean Vanaman (Firewatch, The Walking Dead: A Telltale Game)
"Bunn, Hurtt and Crabtree must have made some kind of demon-pact in order to create a book that is as entertaining, engaging and gorgeous as The Damned." Declan Shalvey (Injection, Moon Knight)
