COMIC BOOK - THE CAPE: HELLFIRE
Illustrated by Bruno Abdias, artist at DC.
Following the events of INFINITY 7: Gods Among Men, we find Sebastian (a.k.a. Paladin) being visited by a strange traveler who promises to hold the secret to finding his deceased girlfriend Karla (the Blurr). Sebastian, hurt and desperate for answers, is mortally wounded by her loss and is willing to do anything to try to fill the void in his heart, even if it means staring down the barrel of despair. After listening to the news from the stranger, his concern for what the future may promise is overshadowed by the thought of being reunited with his first love, and he is compelled to follow his heart on a quest to bring her back from the void of death – with the sacrifice of his own life as the potential penance. Accompanied by Thief, they are united with the all-knowing Super-Normal known as Zenith – who, although he has vowed not to get involved in the toils of men – surprisingly agrees to guide them across the galaxy unearth the clues that will hopefully lead them to the hidden realm of Hellfire where souls are kept in a state of purgatory rest. This desolate place is rumored to be run by a ruthless, time-bending celestial being named Ghazi, who will offer the ultimate test against Paladin’s 4 Super-Suit Variants and Thief’s spectacular power-leaching gifts. But once the ultimate truth is revealed, will this duo have enough fortitude to withstand the onslaught of the unknown, reunite their trio of Super-Normals once again, and defy death itself?
