Framed for murder by the demonic Legion, Father Vieri must survive a deadly chase through the streets of Rome in order to escape the Inquisition. But as he possesses Vieri’s body, Legion unveils terrifying new ways to spread his corruption across the Vatican. Can Vieri find a way to turn the tables on the unholy adversary that wears his face? Or will this haunted exorcist find his last hopes extinguished by the Devil himself? The Devil That Wears My Face #4 is full of horror tinged action that continues to make us want to read more immediately.

I keep repeating it but the idea of The Exorcist meets Face/Off seems silly at first. But, as a child of those times, it’s also a hell of an idea and the basic concept of The Devil That Wears My Face. Written by David Pepose, the series has embraced that cheese while elevating it too delivering so many “holy shit” moments throughout. The Devil That Wears My Face #4 continues that record upping the action sequences and body count even further.

The issue mainly involves Father Vieri’s escape from Legion as Legion drops his facade. It opens up the opportunity for hoards to descend in a daring and fun action sequence through the town that takes on visuals that’ll evoke great chase scenes while also reminding you of a zombie invasion.

Pepose also embraces the over the top nature of Legion. The visuals from Alex Cormack along with Pepose’s writing feels like it has fun with it all. There’s moments that feel like they’re being performed by Nicolas Cage in his exaggerated manner. Cormack’s art also delivers what feels like a building wave effect throughout the issue as the chase grows bigger and bigger until the water breaks for what comes next. The visuals really enhance the flow of the story.

The Devil That Wears My Face #4 is a hell of a fun series that takes its concept and really elevates it to another level. You can almost visualize this on the big screen with its over the top moments and actions of its characters. It’s a hell of a surprise and fun series to have ended one year and start a new one with, and one that shouldn’t be missed.
