Another stellar adventure brought to you by the people at Archaia Studios Press.  This jaunt involves a group of carefully selected nuns who are exorcists that absorb the demons they expel from others.   If these vessels die naturally the demons die with them, only violent death will release the evil within.  These women are systematically hunted down and eliminated until only a few remain.  There is a secret in one of the women that must not be freed, and someone is conniving to find out that secret.  The Vatican will do anything to protect this secret, and intends to do so. 

 

This three part series is well written and the layouts are exceptionally clean.  The series has a mature rating for excessive violence, blood shed, and language.  The backgrounds of this collection show an extra-ordinary attention to detail and a fine sense of proportion.  Action sequences were extremely graphic and in full motion, with the layout and background enhancing, rather than detracting the overall effect.
