The Story:
People have wondered for ages: "Why do bad things happen to good people? "
That is exactly what Father Patrick Retter, a Catholic priest who was wounded in combat during his youth, is asked at the start of Soulfinder: Demon's Match — and it is the question he must grapple with after he becomes involved in a series of supernatural events.
Retter is the parish priest in the small, quiet town of Steepleton, Maryland. Assigned to the tiny locale despite his expertise in demonology and the occult, Retter is often called upon by county authorities to advise on matters with religious significance.
Things don't stay quiet for long, as a series of related deaths imply that a great evil has been residing in Steepleton, waiting to arise. Father Retter isn't alone. He is aided by a young detective and ultimately mentored by a mysterious figure who introduces Retter to an ancient, high order of exorcists known as the Soulfinders.
Retter is reluctant to accept his calling, but the evil he encounters in his investigation — a sinister cult and the demons it worships — may convince him otherwise. There are many tales to tell about this band of brothers and their clashes with evil. Soulfinder: Demon's Match gives readers, by the last page, a taste of the vast and unexplored spiritual battlefield that these men face.
This is a 56 page story of engaging visual storytelling, removed from the predictable contrivances of post-modern, agenda-driven narratives.
