In this adaptation of Dante’s Inferno, Sam and Juniper Tinker are killed and their souls are sent to different levels of Hell. Sam begins a quest through hell to find his sister. Issue 3 begins with the bigger story behind this adventure. Someone in hell sets up the two main characters to die and a warden is interested in finding out why.
The writers and the artist deserve a lot of credit. They turned the Divine Comedy into an action adventure story, something that the original source does not lend itself to easily. It turns out to be very simple to pull off: take the horror aspects of the original and subdue them.
It is also a good adaptation. It changes the original story enough to give it a unique spin, but keeps the general structure intact. Also, you need to pay respect to the source and make it unique to you.

About Joseph Furguson
This child of the 80s does not look upon it as some gold age where everything is better. He is well aware that the filter of time causes the best stuff to rise to the top. Every era has terrible and awesome things, but most are downright mediocre. He loves to highlight the forgotten good and the deserving bad items of all generations.
