This was surprisingly fun. I liked the humor of this book very much and want to see the further adventures of Cate and Kate.

Exorsisters introduces the Harrow sisters, Cate and Kate (I’m sure that doesn’t get confusing) who are more than a bit like a genderbent version of Dean and Sam from Supernatural. Although equally as much their own unique thing for spoilery reasons that you’ll see if you dive in. Cate and Kate have set themselves up as Harrow and Harrow, the premier detective agency to call if you find yourself in a bit of a supernatural bind. They’ll rescue fiancés trapped in Hell or rescue you from your own dumb decisions if you “accidentally” signed a contract with a devil. But when their own Mother comes calling, the two sisters will find themselves in a bigger tangle than usual with their own dark secrets being brought to light.
Compared to some of the other graphic novels that I tend to read some Halloween, Exorsisters is extremely light hearted. The art style is bright and cartoony which is actually a great fit for the banter between the Harrow sisters and the light-hearted take on the end times. There are some serious moments but they’re largely overshadowed by the jokes and wordplay. Overall, it’s a light, fun read and one to pick up at pretty much anytime. If you enjoy one-liners and don’t mind some silliness, Exorsisters is a fun, light supernatural comic.

What a fun book.
Fantastic art. Fun short stories with a full arc that unfolds and ends on quite the cliffhanger. It has shades of Buffy, Jessica Jones and Veronica Mars.
If you love the wonderful mix of humor, horror and characterization that marked Buffy, this is can't miss

I went in intrigued, I was initially not necessarily feeling the art and the tone, but a couple of pages into the first issue I was hooked and the vibes were immaculate. This is what if Tia and Tamara from Sister Sister were Emily Strange and Sabrina the Teenage Witch with a little Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Cate and Kate are in the business of dealing with supernatural fuckery, specialising in reclaiming lost souls from The Pit and giving a demon or two a kicking for good measure. Their mum sold their soul when they were kids (family, amirite?!) or rather Cate's soul that took on a rebellious life of its own, Kate.
That's the premise. The style is classic comic in the tradition of Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Sabrina with a modern twist, which suits the irreverent and infectiously fun tone perfectly. They pop in and out of hell (and demon orifices [orifi?]), angels rain from the sky, shadows are going to wipe out all life. All standard fare for the teen spoopy storytime, but there's just something special and fun about the Exorsisters style.
This really is a testament to crafting something new and fun from familar parts. I absolutely need to read more!

A lot of fun (competent young women dealing with demons and such— Buffy-esque), but it does end on a bit of a cliffhanger.

I picked this up on a whim on Free Comic Book Day, because I heard someone else in the store say she was thinking about getting it and I was on a mission to get something I had absolutely never heard of, because the point of free comic book day is to discover new comics. So I bought it, and I LOVE it.
And I finished the book, and got to the end, and I just had to know what happens next so I went to see if I could get my hands on the individual issues, which I never do. I am a fully committed wait-for-the-trade-paperback kind of person. But this one just came out last week, and I know the next trade won't be for months, so I prepared myself to make an exception. And... there are no more. What am I going to do?
I guess I'll just read this volume again soon, but still.
