Father Daniel Beckett fights on God's side of the battle between heaven and hell, but his work takes him closer to the Devil than it ever has to his boss up above. From legendary writer and director John Carpenter, the Asylum comic book series sees a group of humans going up against Lucifer's demons, and we have a preview of the seventh issue, in which King Leo goes to the Barrens in search of a fallen friend's soul.

"Issue #7 is part one of a two issue mini arc that takes King Leo to the Barrens on a quest to save the destroyed soul of Father Leone after Leone was thrown from the bell tower of his church and his soul was ripped asunder by the demon they had battled throughout the first arc.

While blind in our world, King Leo's gift of second sight guides him through an unimagineable world that is neither heaven nor hell in his journey to save his friend. Meanwhile, another part of his past is revealed along the way when he runs into children hiding from the Soul Collector."
