Sons of the Devil #1 by Brian Buccellato and Toni Infante

Travis Crowe has an ordinary life. He doesn’t get along with his boss; he has an estranged step-brother of sorts who is trying to make amends, and a loving girl-friend. Oh! I forgot to mention he is being hunted down by a crazed psychopath. Is it good?
