  1. Zachary

    Downtrodden Jack picks up a guy at a bar and retreats to a hotel for a night wanton pleasures. The next morning he finds himself ill and uneasy. Suspecting he picked up a disease, he seeks medical assitance. But thugs accost him on his way to the clinic, and it is in a dark alley that the true repurcussions of the previous night’s carelessness are revealed.

    The world of The Mark of Aeacus is dark, sad, lonely and brutal. Jack’s character is familiar—dejected and without hope for a better future. Far from showing us how he pulls himself from his mire, we see him sinking deeper into it. He becomes further accosted and abused for his misstep.

    Life can be such misery and horror.

    But somewhere beyond the dismal tunnel Jack finds himself trodding, their must be hope. For all the danger and destructive power his new gift provides, perhaps there is still the opportunity for him to learn and grow.

    This reader found the premise, characters, and art style intriguing enough to continue following Jack on his journey.
