Crossing the action movie "Face/Off" with possession horror gives an action-packed punch to this historically religious horror.

SO GOOD. This was exactly the type of read I was looking for. The art was amazing and really added to the horror of it all. It introduces readers to a world of dark intrigue, unsettling mysteries, and characters grappling with the thin line between good and evil. The story is intense, with a plot that twists and turns through shadowy corridors, both literal and figurative, as it delves into the nature of identity, morality, and the terrifying idea of losing control over one’s own mind.

Thank you Mad Cave Studios for a copy of The Devil That Wears My Face!

"The year is 1740, and the Vatican is in turmoil. Grappling with a profound crisis of faith, outcast exorcist Father Franco Vieri is dispatched on a mission of grave importance – to rescue a Spanish nobleman from the clutches of the sadistic demon known as Legion. But when the exorcism goes tragically wrong, Vieri finds himself trapped in a stranger’s body… and learns what horrors lie ahead when the Devil wears his face."

This graphic novel is perfect for readers looking for a spooky read this season with a classic comic style! Tons of gory horror and exorcism!!!

Netgalley Review

Star Rating: ★★★☆☆

Another middle of the road read. Not the best, but definitely not the worst. A solid 3 stars.

Like always though, read it and decide for yourself

I really liked the art style of this graphic novel and I also really liked the storyline. It was very creepy and gory.

Well this was a wild ride of horror. Blood and guts everywhere and a slightly confusing story but I could feel the battle. If you like gory horror with a dose of religion then this one is for you.

At this point, I'm wondering if David Pepose has it in him to write a bad comic. Literally EVERYTHING he's written, and trust me, I've read EVERYTHING, has been PERFECT!!! I hope his career continues to flourish.

Great illustrations. The story unfooding in a different way. Just love the way it is portrayed. Go readers grab it.

The Devil wears my face is a must read if you like suspenseful graphic novels but even if you don’t, the art alone is worth your time. It was simply magnificent, the colours and designs of the illustrations had me floored, I’ve since finishing this book followed the illustrator on social media.

As for the author, David Pepose, he manages to spin together a well researched story depicting the juxtaposition between corruption and gore while using catholicism and holiness as the backdrop. A very interesting read!

I would recommend reading this either physically or on a larger divide like an iPad because I found reading some of the text to be difficult. But read it nevertheless!

Thank you NetGalley, my dealer in life.

Robert Langdon is supposed to go to Spain and remove a powerful demon from the rich influential man's son that it is possessing, but when the exorcism goes wrong he enters the body of the afflicted – and the demon is willing and able to go directly back into the Papal suite in the Vatican, and unleash hell, wearing Langdon's body as disguise. Oh alright, it's nothing to do with Robert Langdon, of course – but this treats exorcism and Catholic rite with the same flippant ignorance as Dan Brown might. I'd ignore the descriptions of this being a horror book – it shows lots of evisceration and bloody beheadings and so on, but it's just a battle between superpowered religious entities, with absolutely no indication of it having any bearing on humanity. You might feel one side needs to vanquish the other, but from the looks of it here none of it would ever trickle down to affect us, and you're left with the same feeling that the empty bluster of "Hellboy 2" gave, that it would never ever get to concern us, or really deserve our attention. Two and a half stars.

ALLORA QUESTO FUMETTO È SPETTACOLARE
C'È SPLATTER, SANGUE, DEMONI E RELIGIONE
cosa si poteva chiedere di più? storia intrigante con delle tavole decisamente super
colori, illustrazioni perfette.
non vedo l'ora di prendere il cartaceo

Thank you, NetGalley for an advanced ARC of this graphic novel

I love anything horror so when I saw this I had to read it, this is a book right up my alley and I cannot wait for the next one, also I loved the way it was written I could not put it down

I adored how gruesome the art was in this graphic novel, and often laughed in shocked suprise at how horrific many of the pages are. The visual style is absolutely fantastic!
The story was great and follows a priest who becomes possessed by a demon and goes on a romp through the vatican. I'd happily recommend this to anyone who likes horror graphic novels.

I really enjoyed that the possession wasn't typical and done a bit different. There was a lot more graphic violence than I thought there would be for a possession, but I liked that. The concept of the graphic novel of a demon infiltrating the Vatican I found to be very interesting. I really enjoyed this overall and would definitely read more.

Art style is dark and gloomy and grotesque, just what I'd expect from a book of this genre.
Overall I personally didn't love the story, but that's a me thing. Others will probably love it and find it riveting!

Very interesting comic, and the twist about the main guy made me laugh for how little I expected it. The art was detailed and impactful and at points, gruesome

The story was very well thought out and the art was amazing. I definitely recommend. From the start to finish it was pretty good, I finished it in one sitting and it left me wanting more

Absolutely fantastic! If the Exorcist, Preacher, and Evil had a baby, it would be this graphic novel. It goes way beyond the typical story of possession to something unspeakable. It’s gory, it’s insane, it’s so d—n good! And the artwork is incredible. I can definitely see this getting made into a series similar to Preacher. If this is book number one, I will definitely be reading the rest!

Huge thanks to Mad Cave Studios and NetGalley for sending me this ARC for review! All of my reviews are given honestly!

4.5🌟
(I received an e-arc from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving this review)
this was unexpectedly so good. the art. the storyline. the horror aspect. everything was so perfect.
But the ending. THE. ENDING. Wow. i did not expect that.

This was an incredibly well done body swap horror thriller graphic novel. This is the kind of comic book that really gives you your money's worth as there is a lot packed into both the story and the art. I've really been enjoying the output from Mad Cave Studios and this one was no exception. I'm really hoping we get another story from the creative team very soon.

Special Thanks to Mad Cave Studios and Netgalley for the digital ARC. This was given to me for an honest review.
