Deviant Behavior (Deviant Vol. 1)

Deviant Behavior is the first volume in the Deviant series, and focuses on Walter Brick's childhood, though is interspersed with scenes from the present day.

Plot
Walter Brick had a tough childhood, growing up in poverty with an abusive and alcoholic father, depressed mother, and younger brother. He forges a relationship with another young delinquent named Veronica, who is later almost sexually assaulted by his father. In defending her, Walt gives in to all of the built-up resentment he has towards his father, and ends up killing him. He puts his father's body and some empty bottles into his father's car and pushes it into a lake in order to make it look like he was driving drunk and swerved off the road. However, a young Jack Harrow investigates the death, eventually arresting Walt just before his eighteenth birthday. To avoid going to jail, Walt acts insane, ending up in the Shady Orchard Asylum instead. There, he starts to believe he might actually be insane, but eventually comes to his senses thanks to Veronica, prompting him to break out of the asylum. After escaping, he goes to Veronica's house to take her with him, but finds her dead from a drug overdose. He cries for the first time in years, then calls the police to find her body before leaving. The next day, he boards a bus heading for Zone 13.
