In the frontier of the American west, a veil of evil threatens to engulf humanity. Servants of the fallen archangel Temozarela are paving the way for their dark lord’s resurrection.One man stands in the way of the apocalypse—Ivan Isaacs—a fallen priest who sold his soul to the devil Belial for the power to fight evil. Armed with a wicked blade and silver bullets, Ivan will give the heretics a baptism of blood in his pilgrimage for humanity’s redemption.
This is Priest, one of the exciting thriller manhwa's from TOKYOPOP. Yes, I said "manhwa", referring to the captivating style of Korean manga. Created by Min-Woo Hyung, Priest is a bloody, gripping tale of a fallen priest - Ivan Isaacs - who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for power to fight some evil supernatural beings. An odd contradiction, don't you think? The devil grants power to fight evil? Nevertheless, Priest is one of the top selling manhwa's and one of TOKYOPOP's best releases yet. Smart, daring and ever-so-retrospective, Priest challenges our innermost beliefs about who we are and where we fit in the "big picture". If you like action, horror, suspense or just about any genre that's a good read, you're going to love this.
