Kiss Me, Satan!

Kiss Me, Satan! #1-5

by Victor Gischler, Mike Lightwood (Translator), Juan Ferrreyra

Cassian Steele is boss of the werewolf mafia in the Big Easy, and he's got a problem. The old witch Verona has discovered his secret and gone into hiding. Cassian wants her dead. So he sends out the word: An open contract. The first monster to dust Verona gets a big payday. Werewolf mobsters, vampire maids, a voodoo cowboy, zombie ninjas, and even a playboy wizard show up to try to collect the bounty. What they don't realize is that Barnabus Black, a demon desperately trying to regain his halo, is her protector. Written by Victor Gischler (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Spike--A Dark Place, Punisher MAX, X-Men) with art from Juan Ferreyra (Colder, Rex Mundi)!

Reviews

[Diego Beaumont · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un cómic repleto de acción, brujas, demonios y hombres lobo. Me ha gustado el dibujo y la trama guarda más de un secreto cosa que se agradece.

Well done series in terms of art and story. Suitable for folks who are endlessly keen on werewolves, vampires, and demons. Lots of action and graphic graphics.
The start of a series, so this volume is mostly sets up the story and kills off many disposable crew members. I’m always disappointed to learn, at the end, that there is no end.

¿3,5, quizás? Dibujo muy bueno y guion bastante decente; una lectura muy entretenida. Es una pena que no vaya a continuar (o al menos eso creo), porque podría dar MUCHO más juego, pero tiene un buen final.

I’ve read this multiple times and it feels like a rad start to a series. Alas, it looks like a one shot. Demons, werewolves and magic all add up to a rad story.

I LOVED this book! It was so fun, graphics were awesome and the storyline was great! With a mix of demons, wizards, ninja corpses, werewolves, vampires and more, how could it not be fun! Would love to see more in this series!

A fallen angel seeking redemption becomes the protector for a clairvoyant and a non-magical baby born to a werewolf clan leader. This would gain an extra star if a mix of werewolves, vampires and witches struggling for power in New Orleans didn't feel too much like The Originals mixed with a violent crime film. Still, it was fun enough I'd read more.

[Kris Shaw · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am a sucker for the lycanthrope set. While Kiss Me, Satan! does indeed feature them, it is one of those mishmashes of traditional Horror creatures that also includes witches, vampires, and demons all fighting side by side and one another. It all makes sense and is done competently enough but it never gets out of second gear. It's good but not good enough for me to come back for more.

[Kimberly · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty tried and true mix up of werewolves, vampires, and witches but with one fun trump card thrown in. Artwork is cool - big final battle totally worth it.

[Adrián · Rating 4 out of 5]

Me ha gustado mucho esta novela gráfica pero sinceramente me la compré porque costaba 4€.

[John · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a fun mix of hard-boiled crime drama and werewolves, vampires and the like. Unfortunately there's very little depth to the characters or story. I could see this as an effective on going series though. Also it's set in New Orleans but fails to make much use of its'
location.

Ace! Brilliant little mini series

[Javi · Rating 2 out of 5]

Entretenido sin más. El dibujo es bastante bueno en algunas páginas, pero no se le puede pedir más a un cómic hecho para entretener.

[Faris Morgan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this comic. The story was easy to grasp and the artwork amazing. A great start to an interesting series.

[Christopher Scott Pua · Rating 3 out of 5]

The synopsis was interesting, the execution not so much.
