Letterer: Carlos M. Mangual
Editor: Chas! Pangburn

The eternal battle between Heaven and Hell rages on with your soul as the prize. All that stands between them and us are the Combat Exorcists, sworn to knock demons back into hell through their unique mastery of the God flow — the ability to channel the unique traits of divine beings from different levels of angels to old testament creatures to horrific beasts featured in the Book of Revelation.

Syd Miller and Ellen Blair are the world’s two premiere Combat Exorcists — the only problem? After a nuclear break up years ago, they can’t stand each other. But when the biggest soul auction in history kicks off beneath Los Angeles, Syd and Ellen have no choice but to come together to raid the HELLSCRAPER, an infernal tower going straight down into the Earth. With thousands of souls on the line, Syd and Ellen must fight their way to the bottom, or die trying.

SRP: $4.99

Now trapped in Santiago’s body, Father Vieri finds himself locked in the dungeon of the Castillo Lazarus – and at the sadistic mercies of the Inquisition. Yet as this exorcist now burns at the touch of the Cross, can Vieri escape before the demon Legion uses his body to paint the Vatican red? And when suspicion mounts over his new host’s changed demeanor, to what terrifying lengths will Legion go to avoid being discovered? As the Devil lurks in the Church’s most precious sanctum, no one will be prepared for what happens next – and in one bloody instant, the fate of Rome will be changed forever.

Equal parts Face/Off and The Exorcist, Ringo Award-winning writer David Pepose (Moon Knight: City of the Dead, Savage Avengers) and Bram Stoker Award-nominated artist Alex Cormack (Sea of Sorrows, The Crimson Cage) conjure a harrowing tale of terror, action, and body-swap intrigue that will leave comic readers at the edge of their seats.
