Where are the Demons?

The possessed Maru is making Father Barrera wheel Father Stygian to where he has been banishing the demons too. Upon entering the sub-basement Father Stygian makes his final play by injecting Maru with a sedative. Instructing Barrera that there isn’t much time, they need to get to the host of the demon souls before Maru awakes.

It’s at this time that Stygian reveals to Barrera that the incubator for the demons is a Jane Doe that is in a coma. Barrera is having a difficult time with the fact that Stygian would use a helpless human in this manner. But that’s not the worst of it, as Stygian reveals they must remove the breathing apparatus and kill the young lady, so Maru can’t free the demons. Now Barrera needs to make a decision and make it fast as Maru is coming too.

The Anti-Christ is Upon Us

The energy level and suspense are at a fever pitch and just when you thought you knew how it would end, the direction changes.

The art in this issue, much like the rest of the series, is stunning. Jakub Rebelka makes your jaw drop on every panel. The art looks like a painting that could be hung in a museum. This series has some of the best art in the industry and this final issue is no different.
