I tried to keep the focus on the juxtaposition between the darker aspects of human existence (war, self-abuse, murder) and the war between angels and demons.

That's not too far from where Dread's at. I need to check this show out. In Dread, mysterious entities (which may or may not be angels) recruit people to hunt demons (and rescue their intended victims, if the situation permits it). The Disciples are chosen from all walks of life, but the important thing is that they're people with nothing left to lose -- drug addicts, criminals, failures, the suicidal, the destitute. They're given a chance to redeem themselves by dying in battle, essentially.
