I had some problems with the very first volume which was there to establish the world and establish the characters and thus had some problems.
But with the second volume we know where we are and where we're going and things start roaring ahead.
The last story in the book is the best of the bunch, for the very first time the heroine is actually admirable likable.
Looking forward to #3.

While I found the art work aceptable the story line was a little to far out for my tastes.

After a delayed release, we finally get to see what happens subsequent to Bethanny Black in her adventures in the literally post-apocalyptic world that she is now living in. If you don't know, the Rapture has come and gone. The worth ascended to Heaven while the rest of the human population was left on Earth. God has forsaken the planet, and now Satan and his hordes of demons call it their home. Those who aren't killed by the demons are subject to Hell on Earth as slaves. Bethanny, a sort-of concubine of a powerful demon lord named Belial, recently escaped captivity when her friend Bloato, a diminuitive demon who doesn't see things the way most of his species does, informed her that if she can make it to Vatican City, there is a chance that she can make it to Heaven via a special gateway. The trouble is that Bethanny lives in San Francisco, and with demons and giant insects in her way, along with a lack of organized transportation, she has a long journey ahead of her.
Before departing, Bethanny and Bloato ran into Tim, a kid who took shelter with Bethanny when the Rapture hit 10 years prior to the beginning of the story. They were soon separated, but they have now reunited, and Tim tells Bethanny and Bloato about a colony run by US soldiers nearby. Thinking that they have a better chance getting to Dead Western, as the colony is known, than the Vatican, the trio is last seen making their way there.
This volume begins with Bethanny, Bloato, and Tim being captured by some of the soldiers. However, due to Bethanny's ability to use magic, she is able to convince most of the soldiers that she is an angel with a mission to escort them to Heaven. She is put under the protection of Mouse, the one soldier who doesn't believe her story. He is, however, sympathetic to her and her friends, and agrees to keep her secret. The circumstances Mouse found himself in during the Rapture have had a profound effect on him, which contribute to his treatment of Bethanny.
Of course, Dead Western turns out to be anything but the Utopia our heroes were looking for, but the soldiers are the least of their worries, as Belial has sent a raiding party looking for Bethanny. By the end, we will learn something horrible about one of Bethanny's travel companions and, well, let's just say that things don't turn out so well.
There is also a one-shot issue that shows how Bethanny and Bloato very first met. It is a sweet tale about the lengths she was willing to go to in order to have something good happen while she had to live in a demon-infested world as well as a beacon of hope for the goodness of the demon race (though I'm not sure Bloato's feelings for humans will ever be replicated).
