The 2006 graphic novel concerns Eddie, a man living in Chicago who battles demons disguised as mobsters of the city's three major crime families: the Alighieri, the Roarke and the Verlochin. Eddie's also cursed with the supernatural ability to transfer injuries he sustains to the first person who touches him, against his will.
I haven't read the source material, but the ingredients of this concept sound fun. This also continues to validate my theory that cable networks are currently inspired by novels and comic-books. Dexter, True Blood, Game Of Thrones and the upcoming Powers are all based on existing prose.
What do you think? Have you read The Damned? If so, will it make a good TV show, or will Hayter have to make some changes? If not, does the concept capture your imagination? Who would you suggest to play Eddie?
