The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace #3

(W) Hannah Rose May (A) Kelsey Ramsay

Death is coming for Theo Belmont. As the heir to the throne, all of England has its eyes on him, and the pressure is enough to drive any sober man to the bottle. But it’s not the drink Theo is drowning in — it’s the shadow of something far more evil, something that’s about to take full control of the crown, and then, the world.

That is, until Buckingham Palace calls in a favor. Father Reid has come to London to end the Belmont Curse!

The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace #2

(W) Hannah Rose May (A) Kelsey Ramsay

Theo Belmont is being dragged under — by the pressures of assuming the throne, an escalating addiction, and the all-consuming darkness of the curse that has haunted his family for generations.

As his grip on reality loosens, blackout periods now taking place at regular intervals, Theo can’t help but wonder if the political pressure is costing him his mind… just as it cost his mother hers. If he’s going to escape his inner demons, he’ll need to place his trust in a greater power. A power like the president of the United States of America.

The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace #1

First, it was America…now, England. It’s 5:00 a.m. at 10 Downing Street. The prime minister gets a call that bolts him upright out of bed: The royal family has been lost at sea. Parliament and Buckingham Palace explode with action in the aftermath. Some suspect the prince and his wife, the princess, were attacked. Others whisper their tragedy was the result of a long-standing family curse…Either way, playboy and recovering addict Theo Belmont is next in line to the throne. Can he step up to the role? Or will he be consumed by his demons? The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace #1 is a tense debut full of emotion and mystery.

Written by Hannah Rose May, The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace #1 is a fantastic debut that’ll keep you guessing as to what’s going on. At its surface level, the story involves the mysterious disappearance and fallout of some of the royal family. Did they vanish due to a curse or was another nation involved? That alone could drive a series, with a focus on an investigation and the political impact of the event. But, May dives deeper focusing on the next in line to the throne and a past that haunts him.

The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace #1 explores trauma and addiction as Theo Belmont fights to stay sober while also clearly uneasy about his royal lineage. But, the crown that weighs is forced upon him as he’s declared the next in line for the throne and struggles with his addiction that has afflicted other family members. It’s a story of ghosts that haunt but ones of addiction and family trauma.

The comic delivers a perfectly moody look with the art of Kelsey Ramsay. With color by Heather Breckel and lettering by Jodie Troutman, the comic has a haunted style that perfectly captures its ominous feel. I can’t say anything as far as the details of the royals and England, but the comic nails a haunting feel and the visuals add to the tension that builds throughout the issue. The art is perfect for the overall vibe, adding to every emotional moment.

The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace #1 is the type of comic you can enjoy on the surface level or dive deeper in to. It’s a solid debut that’ll suck readers in, leaving them guessing as to where this could go. It’s a fantastic debut that delivers a haunting read as the weather warms up.
