I do. I wouldn't go out and get a subscription for this one though. What. A. Load. Of. *beep* And I'm usually pretty forgiving. This was mind-numbingly bad. First of all, it's only ten pages long including the cover. On those ten pages, it has about six word balloons, all belonging to a Mephisto-like character that lives under ground. In short, what happens in this "comic" is the following **SPOILERS**:
1) Panels of DD in an alley, apparently sensing something (I have no clue as there are no words anywhere). He goes down a staircase.
2) At the bottom of the staircase, he encounters a couple of green-clad characters with medieval-like hatchets of some kind.
3) Two pages (that's twenty percent of the story) follow, depicting DD fighting these two characters. Nothing particularly thrilling happens. I think one guy's helmet falls off.
4) DD enters a big hall with a horned beast type of character appearing on a podium in front of an enthralled audience (all human). On the podium is a child tied down that's about to be sacrificed.
5) DD approaches and some vague threats are made by the hairy devil dude. Devil dude spews some fire, DD somehow beats him (I don't know how to make sense of the art here).
6) The whole mass of people run outside and are arrested, the kid is returned to the police and DD takes off.
That's it. If there's any deeper meaning to this story, which is called Demons by the way, I have no idea what it's supposed to be.
