Resume
The story follows a teenager named Theo, who possesses two entities in his life, Ange and Dev, who try to influence him at every decision. They both come from an alternate dimension called Perspecta, where a citizen from each "side" is assigned to a human being in our dimension. Angelia is Theo's representative from Elysium and Devonshire is the representative from Nefaria, their character designs fitting the typical stereotypes of an "Angel" and a "Devil".
Having begun in May 2006, Shrugged faced ongoing delays due to co-creator Michael Turner's struggle with cancer. Turner died in early 2008, with Shrugged completing its eight-issue run in February of 2009. It was collected in trade paperback in Late February-Early March of 2009.
