Summary
Writer JASON AARON & artist r.m.GUÉRA
return to the stark and brutal world of THE GODDAMNED for the long-awaited
second chapter of their biblical-noir epic.
“...the sons of God came in unto the
daughters of men. And they bore children to them...” Genesis
6:4
In the time
before the Great Flood, the world of man is a place of wanton violence and
unbridled depravity. But hidden high atop a mountain, there is a very different
sort of world. One without men. Here the holy sisters at a secret nunnery live
in paradise, a new Eden, rearing their flock of orphaned girls to embrace their
future as blessed Brides of the Sons of God. But when Sharri and Jael, two girls
on the cusp of flowering, uncover what it truly means to become a Bride, they
realize there’s only one way to escape the bonds of matrimony: run like
hell.
