“(The) Hell (I Suffer) Seems Like A Heaven“
Baron Winter sits at his Victorian era desk staring at a recently delivered package. His friend Merlin, an African leopard, paces impatiently nearby. It’s time again.
The Baron ponders in his mind about the promise he made. It seems eons ago when he spoke the words and the contract was agreed upon. Now the box sits in front of him once again. The Baron must tempt someone in doubt and send the troubled soul on a journey. The box must be returned to its owner in a timely manner.
Elsewhere, Washington DC, inside a catholic cathedral, Father Timothy Sanchez tries to console a fifteen year old Deborah. Tears run like torrents down her young cheeks. She has a decision to make and it hangs heavy like an anchor on her soul. Should she have the abortion?
Father Sanchez is conflicted. He has been that way for years now. What should he tell the young Deborah? Does God even care anymore? Why has the flock been left with no stewardship? After deep reflection Father Sanchez gives the canonized answer, killing the unborn is a sin.
The girl attempts a counter argument but the priest has already turned and walked away. In his mind Father Sanchez lost all faith in humanity. Is there even a God?
Later that evening the priest receives a random phone call from someone he doesn’t know. Baron Winters? Who is Baron Winters? Why should Father Sanchez deliver a box to someone he doesn’t know? Is this some type of joke? Or, maybe a test? Collect the series to find out!
Reviewer Note
Marv Wolfman is really focused on biblical mythology and morals in this series. I’m hoping Night Force goes back to its supernatural and science fiction roots at some point in the run.
