The world, the visuals, the characters - all of it comes together flawlessly in the first volume of this comic by LySandra Vuong!
The art style is contrasted and clean - pleasing to the eye and easy to follow for those of us that struggle with eye fatigue. Those dark undertones reflect wonderfully in the subject manner of this book - this being demons and the priests that have been trained to banish them. The cast of characters introduced here are all fun, charming, and wonderfully queer. I love to see it!
I do find it difficult to comment on plot and structure as this was only Vol. 1. Instead of constructing a full flowing narrative it was focused more on laying the foundation blocks for later building. That being said I had no problem following along and am already invested in these characters and their future!
(P.S. If you are impatient like I am myself, more of this story is available on Webtoon!)
Special thanks to Netgalley and Oni Press for this arc! I am leaving this review voluntarily!
