PRODIGAL SON VOL. 1

In the unforgiving American West, a mysterious Man in Black rides with death at his heels and redemption beyond his grasp. When he encounters a young boy bent on revenge against the notorious Grey Devils, he agrees to teach the kid the brutal ways of the gun. But as they track the vicious gang across the desert with an equally vengeful woman at their side, dark secrets emerge that will force each of them to question the true price of vengeance. PRODIGAL SON is a haunting tale of fathers and sons, justice and retribution, and the ghosts we create when we hunt monsters. In this gritty Western saga, everyone has sins to answer for and absolution comes only through the barrel of a gun. Includes issues 1-4, including all 3 endings (The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly)!
