New Day Dawning At Midnight of the Soul

War changes people. War changed Joel Breakstone. He went off to Europe, like thousands of American soldiers in 1944 to fight the good fight. What he found, however, was evil. Pure, unadulterated, inhumane evil. He liberated the death camps, he saw the emaciated bodies, he saw the gas chambers, he saw what humans could do to other humans. He saw it all.

And it changed him.

For five years he drank to keep the memories at bay. For five years he tried to bury the things that he saw. For five years, he squandered a life that was full of promise before he went off to war. And now, the bills of the spirit from the past five years are coming due.

Joel Breakstone will face a Midnight of the Soul this June in Howard Chaykin's new Image Comics series. A powerful tale of loss, personal demons, and redemption, Chakykin's latest work will chart the journey that one broken soul must take toward peace.

Midnight of the Soul #1 (APR160655) from Images Comics is in comic shops June 8.
