Kiss Me, Satan is a great horror book laced with humor, dark and otherwise. The dialogue is excellent and makes the story even more fun than it could have been. Even so, the plot is developing at a good pace for a limited mini-series, and there are some really interesting mysteries yet to be concluded. However, the artwork is sure to shock fans of any genre; this is simply very high quality work in every respect. While there are a number of really good horror books from Dark Horse, this one is presented in a way that makes it feel different from the others. Read Full Review
Gischler isnt particularly forthcoming about certain unanswered questions that were raised in both installments, but he appears to be in his element when writing on the themes of a subculture of individuals living outside of normal (human) society. Ferreyras work is as consistently good as its always been. With assisted colours from Eduardo Ferreyra, the two keep the tone of the issue dark, mysterious, and perfectly suited for Gischlers world.

But those few slip-ups aside Kiss Me Satan is very good, the plot flows at a solid pace with lots of action and intrigue though not much development but this really isn't the issue for that either. This is the issue concerned with accelerating our characters towards a major climax and it does that really well and despite what I said earlier there are some points where the artwork is extremely well done with a unique style that avoids just aping classic horror approaches or the like. There's really not much else for me to delve into on Kiss Me Satan, it's a well written and enjoyable little romp through horror action all coated under a delightful ooze of low budget video rental action junk and sleazy high-octane exploitation goodness. Kiss Me Satan comes recommended. Read Full Review
If you're looking for a complex, multi-layered story, this is not the comic for you. But if zombie ninjas sound cool and you have a couple of extra bucks to spend on some great artwork, this could be the comic for you. Read Full Review
I like the art quite a bit too, it's definitely above-average. I liked the action sequences in this issue a lot more than the last and the blood and gore was disgustingly detailed. If you don't take this comic too seriously and don't worry about the amount of clichs it adopts, you'll probably find yourself enjoying it like I did. Read Full Review
Here's the good part: Kiss Me, Satan #2 is a quick, fun read — the narrative arc is tight as a drum. The bad part? Most of the characters are so one-dimensional that readers might not care. Read Full Review
