About this ebook
Prof. Lawrence Miller falls into a dark vortex of guilt and anger after enduring the tragic death of his teenage son from a drug overdose. He cannot shake the sense that his son is a lost soul, wandering between heaven and earth. Grieving and profoundly disturbed, he opts to take a drastic measure and commits suicide, pursuing his son into the afterlife. Once on the other side, he encounters his deceased father and is given a mystical pendant of great power. Unfortunately, in Lawrence’s hands it becomes a weapon that allows him to unleash his fury on those who brought the drugs to his son, leaving a trail of insanity and chaos in his wake. His existence becomes a terrifying conflict between his unchecked anger… and his instinctive knowledge that he has lost his way. Collects comic issues 1-5.
"If you like the types of otherworldly journeys found in mythology, where the hero doesn’t always win and the path leads to lessons learned more so than any sort of destination, then you will like this book. If you like stories that give a full helping of reality mixed with supernatural fun, then you’ll also like this book. In the end The Shepherd is an emotional ride worth taking." - Black Ship Books
"The Shepherd is a clear passion project of all involved. The care and attention paid to the thematic core of the book creates something that is both evocative and entertaining. The father and son due of the Molinaris have something really special here, and I hope they continue the story of Lawrence and his family." - talkingcomicbooks.com
