Damned, Volume 1, Three Days Dead


This is a graphic novel. Eddie is a man who worked for a demon. Apparently he was dead for three days. But he awoke. He was summoned by his demon boss. The boss and another clan were trying to broker a peace deal. The mediator went missing. The boss sent Eddie to investigate.

Eddie is searching for his ex-girlfriend's brother, who is in hiding. Eddie runs into assorted members of the gangs. He eventually finds out that there is something going down bigger than some gang truce. A book has been found that has an accounting of deals humans made with demons. And it lists demon names. Those names can be used to obtain power over those demons.

Eddie confronts the mastermind behind trying to translate the demon names from the books. He has a gun to this human's head. But then his ex-girlfriend shoots Eddie from behind. Luckily Eddie has the power to come back from the dead. The mastermind is apprehended. Eddie takes back the book. His demon boss gives Eddie a club to run. Eddie hands the book over to his boss.

Eddie creates a new rule for the club. No demons. During the ruckus he learns his ex-girlfriend also made a deal with the devil. He does not use his new found luck and power to save her.
