I picked this up on a whim on Free Comic Book Day, because I heard someone else in the store say she was thinking about getting it and I was on a mission to get something I had absolutely never heard of, because the point of free comic book day is to discover new comics. So I bought it, and I LOVE it.
And I finished the book, and got to the end, and I just had to know what happens next so I went to see if I could get my hands on the individual issues, which I never do. I am a fully committed wait-for-the-trade-paperback kind of person. But this one just came out last week, and I know the next trade won't be for months, so I prepared myself to make an exception. And... there are no more. What am I going to do?
I guess I'll just read this volume again soon, but still.

This was unfortunately one of the few books I decided to get rid of on my shelf. I found the story to be honestly, kind of boring. I did like the idea of them not being really twins and I found that turn in the story entertaining, but I never really connected with the characters. Plus, their mother was just the worst and I could not find myself continuing the series.

Interesting premise, excellent art. Not a ton in terms of plot, but could be setting up a larger arc, so I'm here for it.

The art is cute and I like the story! Leaves off on a cliffhanger, tho. I’ll be checking out vol. 2 when it comes around.

Exorsisters is probably the first comic/graphic novel series that has really hooked me. We follow good girl Cate, who at a young age, lost her soul to the devil due to her mother making a bad deal. Later in life, she found her soul, now embodied as a wild child named Kate, again but they were two different to be rejoined. Now they live as sisters.
When the series starts, we find that Cate and Kate have started their own private investigation business to help people who have made bad deals with demons/devils. We then continue to follow them as their mother comes back into their lives and causes some more shit to hit the fan.
The whole concept of this graphic novel is great, and I love the relationship between Cate and Kate. It's such a weird situation but they really do care about each other and would do anything for each other. Watching them take on the craziness of their business together gives me hardcore early season Supernatural vibes.
The art is also very well done; I love the color palette and the style in general.
The only thing I can really say that I didn't like is that the second issue is pretty much one giant flashback explaining the backstory and it felt super out of place and slowed down the pace of the first issue immensely.
I very much enjoyed this volume and will definitely be purchasing my own copy at release and look forward to future issues/volumes.
