Jude's life is nothing special. It seems like every day is just a repeat of the last one, until one day, he meets a woman and can suddenly see into her past -- revealing that he is actually in Purgatory for suicides. Now that he's awake, he and the legendary Ernest Hemingway are on the path to change things in the afterlife for the better. Of course, that might not sit very well with the bigwigs down below or up above. Can just a few people change the course of billions of souls?
Goodreads Description
Trigger Warning: this book contains physical assault, still birth, people committing suicide
The best way to describe this comic is as if you took the medieval system of order for the afterlife, turned it into a bureaucracy, and had the guys from Office Space trying to take down the unjust system. The story was interesting, a bit depressing, occasionally funny, with a lot "What the ABSOLUTE F*** just happened?!" thrown in.
