I read parts of the serial comic online as it was published, but lost track and was glad to see this collection of the whole story. Heck is the strong hero with the weird mummy sidekick. There's a woman with a secret who sends him to hell. Literally. A thumping good read.

This book really surprised me. At first I thought it might be an adventure story from the cover, but upon reading it, it was a lot more. There's an adventure here, sure, but it's much more about a man confronting his past and finding friendship. I really enjoyed it.

Very very impressive and emotionally satisfying. The story drags a bit in the middle, but it's rare to come across something that feels so fresh and original.

A washed up former high school football star opens a business journeying to Hell and back. Didn't know what to expect from this and was quite surprised to get a moving subplot about friendship in addition to some really great fantasy mechanics: such as a communication device that travels back in time to implant the message in the receiver's conscience. Hell is imagined in great barren stretches of black and white and some of the monstrous designs are absolutely terrific, this perfect amalgam of mythology and folklore with scifi and fantasy tropes. Could have used a biblically accurate angel but, probably wouldn't have worked in the simpler art style.
Twist in the story also really surprised me - just all around clever stuff here.

I just picked up Heck in Humble Bunle and though what the heck. I did not read what it is about, just saw the cover and found it interesting (with a bunch of other comics in the bundle).
Already the Prologue with its characters and mood captured my attention to a surprising extent. The more surprised I was when this serious start continued to maintain the serious tone while the hero visits Hell.
A strong depiction of Hell with a lot of pain and suffering that cuts deep.
I was taken by the simple but expressive drawing that is same as the world and the story, simple, captivating, dark while fragile and tender.
"What about unicorns then?" "That's ridiculous. ... They have been extinct for at least thirty years."
