This was spectacular! It had all of my favorite things. I know how huge a thing satanism/cults were in the '80s/'90sand this really showcased that satanic and conspiracy theory panic that was rampant. This was a great graphic novel that had the perfect amount of thriller, mystery, and nostalgia. I thought the artwork was very fitting for this topic as well and reminded me of vintage comic books. I hate how things turned out for Natalie, but the ending is fitting to the rest of the book. I wish it were a tad bit longer in that it explored the other members of "the cult six" a bit more. It is a great read but needs a bit of fluffing. I would definitely read more from this duo!
