Father Barrera is a disgraced priest, haunted by his part in the tragic death of a child. As penance, he is exiled to the remote South American town of Puerto Cristina to apprentice under the enigmatic Father Stygian, controversial exorcist.
Exorcists are normally trained in the Vatican, but Stygian has his own way of handling demons... methods that predate even the Church. And unfortunately for Barrera, Stygian's last apprentice committed suicide not long ago.
As Barrera seeks to unlock the mysteries of Stygian's strange practices, he uncovers an island rife with evil and supernatural phenomena.

When I Lay my Vengeance Upon Thee #1 is a fresh and awesome take on the exorcism sub-genre. Gus Moreno gets off to a great start by laying down some great groundwork for this story. Issue one starts off with a punch to the face, with a baby being killed. Then it settles in and builds a world thats very interesting, before hitting us with a cliffhanger ending. This issue really has it all. Read Full Review

When I Lay My Vengeance Upon Thee #1 is a good start. It should be a nice build to whatever comes next and is a solid start that sows enough distrust between the characters and the reader to keep things interesting. Overall, a concept we've seen before in various ways but done more than well enough to take warrant a look. Read Full Review
