What Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic is

Fog curls over frozen lakes beneath a blood-red sky, where iron gates groan open. A knight in scorched armor cuts through shrieking wraiths and twisted penitents, climbing downward through cities of flame and ice. Less pilgrimage than vengeance parade, this is Dante by way of Heavy Metal and hellish arcade rounds.
