Killer of Demons is a three-issue miniseries from Image Comics. The series
follows the odd adventures of Dave Sloan, your quintessential no fun, mundane junior
account executive with one exception. He can see demons, and there are
loads of demons. Not the kind the hide in seedy corners or the ones that reside
in your head whispering dirty little things, demon. Demons that walk, talk and act
just like you and me. They look like
your neighbor, cashier at the corner store, cop that pulled you over for
speeding, your boss, wife, even your kid. To you and me however, they look
entirely normal. Dave Sloan however sees them for what they are.
His sidekick is a cigar-smoking cherub who urges him along
and tells him it is his heavenly duty to kill all these demons. Chris Yost and Scott Wegener do a
wonderful job with the tongue in cheek demon slayer comic, which begs the
question, is Dave Sloan a serial killer or actually the hand of God?
Demons are everywhere so needles to say Dave and his cherub
sidekick are quite the busy pair, though the cherub is simple there to antagonize
Dave into carrying out his “duty.” The blood flows freely and often and the dialog
is comical, sensible and entertaining.
Overall, this is an entertaining and fun series. The art is
dynamic and telling and the storyline flows and is well thought-out. I enjoyed it and was disappointed it ended after three
issues, though they are graphic novel in length (mostly) not your typical comic
book offering.
