The Confessional
Let me just give you the tagline, so you don’t have to guess what that cover is trying to tell you: “Having spent the last 4 million years as an outcast, the devil has had enough! Tired of his role… he confesses all to a Priest”. That’s using the … thing to trim a quote up a bit, not to change the meaning. Blurb gatherers, take note! Anyway, the first thing this reminded me of was the Lucifer series from Vertigo. That’s fairly obvious, as they’re both about the devil, but they’re also both about the devil quitting, they just have different ideas about what the devil would do when he quit. The ending of this showed that this is an original story, but I’m not going to give it away or anything. The bulk of the story is with the devil talking to a priest, first trying to convince him that he is the devil, then trying to convince him that he (the devil) should kill himself. It’s an interesting theological debate, if a little bit basic. It’s a self-contained comic, so there’s no series here to keep up with. It has a Vertigo-ish feel to it, obviously. so if that’s your thing it’s an interesting comic. Here’s a website, they have a few comics there for you to look at, and it’s $4.50.
