Kiss Me, Satan isn't a bad comic by any stretch. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that it's good, but it is significantly weakened by the lack of imagination. Perhaps there's something to be said for a story about the redemption an angel who sided with Lucifer when God's favorite angel fell from grace, but using such established creatures as werewolves kind of detracts from the innovation. One can't help but see werewolves and immediately think of all of the preexisting lore and stories that the concept of “werewolf” entails. I feel that Kiss Me, Satan would be much stronger if it featured demons from hell more prominently, and focused less on fantasy elements, particularly ones that have been such a large part of pop culture over the last few years.

To be completely frank, the only thing holding issue #1 back is the relatively lacking originality in the overall concept of the book. Admittedly, this type of story and setting has been done many times before. However, KMS already feels like it is among the best in the genre. The story, while not entirely unique, is shaping up to be quite interesting, the first installment was masterfully paced and scripted, and the artwork is phenomenal. If you enjoy action or horror with a bit of humor, do yourself a favor and give this one a chance. Read Full Review

Kiss Me, Satan! has a lot going on in just the first issue.  This is a mini-series with five chapters and by the end of this one, the setup is complete.  It's clear as to what will happen next, but who or what will be thrown into the mix before these next steps are taken is anyone's guess.  With Ferreyra on art, though, I'm willing to follow wherever it goes.

Overall, Kiss Me Satan is a promising series, especially for those of us with a high tolerance for fantastical creatures and supernatural stories. Read Full Review

Honestly, the basic concept of pitting supernatural beings against each other, in a desperate fight for power and control, is hardly an inspired one. Especially considering the clichd setting in which the author and artist are constructing their dark fantasy world. But there's a finely developed sense of environment and world-building " which Gischler displays in the series opener " that will spark the readers' interest. There's also a curious cast of otherworldly characters, caught in the author's action-packed thrill ride of a narrative, who will ensure their investment. Read Full Review

Kiss Me, Satan! survives some common mistakes to bring new life to the werewolf genre. Read Full Review

Marrying humorous antics and asides with a dark tale of horror, the story succeeds in never taking itself too seriously. In this dangerous, highly unpredictable world, the plot of “Kiss Me Satan” #1 manages to balance fun and fury in a dynamic way. At its heart this title is a tale of redemption and damnation that never loses heart, hope or badass-ness. Read Full Review

This is only a 5-issue limited series, so I will probably pick up the rest of Kiss Me Satan. It's entertaining enough for a read, and maybe writer Victor Gischler will flesh out the story in further issues. I'm suspecting he wanted to open with a bang, which is why we get this over-the-top action issue for #1. Or maybe not. After all, a comic called Kiss Me Satan probably isn't shooting for subtle.

As an ongoing series and its lack of originality, I don’t think I would’ve invested in this series, but as a 5 part mini, there’s some potential and I think there’s something here for both horror and crime drama fans. Read Full Review

This debut job fulfilled its basic task: set-up a story. The story does have the potential to grow and Gischler throws a couple of creative elements into the mix. But there is too much going on here. Most of it you've seen before, especially the protagonist (what was his name again?), but the plot development surrounding Cassian and his family, some good artistic moments from Ferreyra, plus several characters who are still mysteries, make me curious enough to want see where this story is going.

The art I felt was very good, but fell flat for me in the action sequences. It didn't match the intensity for what was going on in my opinion. All in all, if you're really into werewolves, pick this up. If not, it's a pretty easy pass, at least until the story gets more interesting. Read Full Review
