Archangel 8 # 1 of 5 (AWA 2020)

Archangel 8 #1 of 5 (AWA Upshot, 2020)

The war between Heaven and Hell has a new, unauthorized soldier.

In the world of Archangel 8, the divine host is composed of seven elite archangels who enforce God's will. But there is an eighth—a rogue operative who handles the jobs the others won't touch. This is a gritty, supernatural thriller that reimagines biblical mythology through the lens of a tactical, black-ops strike.

Released as part of AWA's inaugural wave, this series from the legendary Michael Moreci blends high-stakes military action with deep, cosmic horror. When the world is threatened by a darkness that Heaven can't officially acknowledge, Archangel 8 is the only one willing to cross the line into the dirt to get the job done.

• A Gritty Reimagining: Forget the wings and harps; these angels are tactical warriors in a cold, brutal war for the soul of humanity.

• The Outsider: Explore the origin of the mysterious 8th Archangel, a character who exists outside the divine hierarchy and answers to no one.
