TEN GRAND #1
(W) J. Michael Straczynski (A) Ben Templesmith
Joe Fitzgerald was a mob enforcer until the
day he met Laura, who convinced him to leave that world behind. Before
quitting, Joe agreed to one last job,
little realizing that the man he'd been sent to kill was deeply involved
in demonlogy. He survived Joe's attempt and came after him, fatally
wounding Joe and killing Laura. As he lay dying, an angelic force (who
may or may not be what she appears) pointed out that where she is going,
he can't follow, and where he is going, he wouldn't want her to follow.
But if he will agree to work for them as a different kind of enforcer,
they will bring him to life and keep on bringing him to life every time
he is killed in a righteous cause. The reward: for those five minutes
of death, he will be with Laura again. Would you endure an eternity of
pain and death, dying over and over, to be with the woman you love for
just five minutes each time you died? Most people might say no. But
Joe Fitzgerald isn't most people.
