WALK THROUGH HELL TP VOL 01
(W) Garth Ennis (A) Goran Sudzuka (CA) Andy Clark
So these two FBI agents walk into a warehouse...
Special Agents Shaw and McGregor handle the routine cases nowadays, which is just the way Shaw likes it. She's pushing 40, a borderline burnout, the ghastly memories of her last investigation still clinging like shadows. McGregor is younger, more dedicated, hanging onto some measure of idealism whatever the world might throw at him.
When two fellow agents go missing inside a Long Beach warehouse, Shaw and McGregor are sent to investigate. But what they find waiting is far from routine, as the local police have already discovered to their cost. Before the night is out, our heroes will encounter terror beyond their most appalling nightmares-in a place where the night may never end at all.
A new kind of horror story for modern America, written by Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys, Crossed) and drawn by Goran Sud uka (Y: The Last Man, Hellblazer)

WALK THROUGH HELL TP VOL 02
(W) Garth Ennis (A/CA) Goran Sudzuka
FBI Special Agents Shaw and McGregor find their reality twisting once more, plunging them into an entirely new dimension of terror. Their guide is Paul Carnahan, the child-killer whose crimes they sought to punish, a man known to be dead and buried. As this all-too-human monster tells his story, the pair begin to understand the web of guilt and evil that has them in its grip - a truth that will demand a dreadful price from both.
Stricken with her own memories of wrongdoing, Deputy-director Driscoll struggles to reach the agents under her command, only to realize that her crimes may already have sealed their fate. Carnahan holds the key - but what now looks out from behind his eyes is a great deal more than just a murderer. Old sins and ancient lies combine to herald a terrifying new dawn for all man-kind, in the second and final volume of A Walk Through Hell.
Written by Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys, JIMMY'S BASTARDS) and drawn by Goran Sudzuka (Y: The Last Man, Hellblazer) Volume two collects the last arc of this modern horror epic, issues #6-12.
