It&#8217;s all about Nikki, a former lover\/stripper for Satan who, after he tosses her aside, decides to stir up a revolution in hell, picking up a few of the more disgruntled demons along the way. This is mostly setting the stage for things to come, establishing a few characters, setting up motivations, you know, all the things you need for a good continuing series. The group knows of a sword that can apparently kill Satan, but they have to go through seven levels of demons to get it. It&#8217;s intriguing, and that&#8217;s the great thing about a first issue: there&#8217;s nothing but promise here. It could end up being great, or not, or it could end up being one of the countless series that are dropped by a creator and never picked up again. All that remains to be seen, but I liked this one just fine.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/amongthedead2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"0\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E-mail Among the Dead #1 Now Available! $2 Barry&#8217;s taking a bit of a break from the Toxic series, although fans of his stuff will notice some familiar themes in this one.
