Soul Kiss #5

Written by Steven T. Seagle
Art by Marco Cinello


This has been a fun little title. Lili has made a deal with the devil, causing her boyfriend to be inadvertently sent to Hell. Then, she made a second deal to get him back out, but has to send ten people in his place. Now, he's come home early, and Lili has some decisions to make.

This title has done a good job of balancing the lighter elements of the plot with the darker elements of the themes inherent in this type of story. I can totally see this working as a decent comedy movie.

The art has time and again reminded me of a garish, later Will Eisner, and looks fantastic. If you haven't been reading this series, it's well worth getting in trade some day.
