TOP COW''S TOP-SELLING SERIES OF ALL TIME CONTINUES IN ITS GROUND-BREAKING RELAUNCH! APHRODITE V DEBUTS! For the first time in history, mankind is outpacing evolution.

Il sicario fu Bruce “Chapel” Stintson amico di Simmons e per questo facilitato nel compito di avvicinarlo in missione senza destare sospetti. Trucidato in Botswana, Simmons si ritrovò all''Inferno, dove in cambio del suo ritorno sulla Terra, e la possibilità di rivedere la moglie Wanda, il demone Malebolgia gli offrì dei poteri a tempo limitato: questo a patto che li usasse per uccidere dei criminali con cui infoltire il suo esercito e prevalere sul Paradiso.
