When the world is under siege from the pits of Hell, it's up to The Devilers to set things right! Seven of the world's greatest exorcists, representing many faiths but united by common resolve, are called to the burning Vatican. As rescue workers attempt to contain the city-wide inferno, only the truly devout stand witness to the demon army marching among the flames. The Devilers, each armed with a unique and fearsome ability to combat the fiendish invaders, must battle their way through the City of the Damned to confront the true evil at its core... but one among their number holds a terrible secret that might be their undoing!

Zero stars. Pure garbage.

2.5 stars
Well this one was promising but didn't quite reach it's potential. This is sort of like "Exorcist meets the X-Men", but didn't quite pull it off. You have a team of superpowered exorcists who are fighting to keep Hell from taking over the world. It was kinda cool to see that battling demons but the story got a little existential and the ending was a little "deus ex machina" for me. The story also felt very rushed. It reminded me a little bit of some of the anime Ive watched where it feels like you started in the middle of the story and then things never slow down.
The art wasn't bad, and some of it in the early parts reminded me of Gene Colan, which is a huge compliment.
Overall I liked the concept, and the characters aren't bad. Something in the execution just didn't feel right.

This started off pretty strong but went downhill the further it went. The combination of faiths was potentially interesting but their faiths ended up being meaningless except a minor detail in their history. Their various magic powers didn't align at all. Malcolm, arguably the main character, was the oddest of most confusing. He becomes a big demon by being eaten by demons. But not when Lucifer eats him, I guess? The end was a bit confusing what really happened, except that he pissed on the sandals of God and then somehow saved the day... Or something. Some of the dialog was poor but mostly ok.
The art started off strong too (all the covers looked great) but later on got so muddled I couldn't tell what was going on. When they first went to hell, though, was well done. Both creepy and creative.
This was an unfortunate miss and probably more like 2.5 stars than 3. Premise was ok, or at least could have gone somewhere. Makes me wonder if the series was canceled before it really got started and they just rushed it all. Too bad.

So many interesting ideas that are completely bogged down by characters you can't even pretend to care about.
I really wanted to love this but couldn't.
