In the Gothic tradition of James O'Barr "The Crow", Neil Gaiman's Sandman and Garth Ennis' Preacher, comes this tale, in seven parts, of an angel called Cayce who is cast-down for believing that suicide shouldn't be a damnable offense. To teach him a lesson, Heaven sends him to Earth for a thousand years, only allowing him to be seen and heard by those about to kill themselves... and little children. Unfortunately, Heaven (now a bloodless bureaucracy) hopes that this penance will teach the fatally idealistic angel that his compassion is wasted on human suffering, it instead proves to him that he was right all along to care about us so deeply. He begins secretly collecting those soon-to-be-damned souls, shattering celestial law, and upsetting the balance of power that has ruled the cosmos since time began.

Now the 1000 years are up, and it's time for the angel to go home, but he has other bigger plans of his own, as the power of many becomes the Power of One.
