Publisher's Synopsis
North America's Death is a wisecracking entity whose life exists in that in between-between life and death, that is. His job? Arrive on the scene of his assignment, assess the situation, follow the directions on his device, and execute said target, be it heart attack or car accident or anything else that brings one to their end. After that, his only task is to get the recently departed through a door into a place that he neither knows nor cares very much about. Every once in a while, though, he takes his time and strikes up a conversation with them, because why not? Through both the eyes of the newly dead and his own, we learn more about who Death really is. And when he encounters an inquisitive coma patient, he develops a friendship the likes of which he has only ever had once before, and he soon finds himself both battling questions about his origin and challenging entities that simply cannot be challenged: those beings even more powerful than himself.
