REVIEW: 'The Devil That Wears My Face' #6 by David Pepose and Alex Cormack

 


THE DEVIL THAT WEARS MY FACE #6

Writer: David Pepose
Artist: Alex Cormack
Letterer: Justin Birch
Publisher: Mad Cave Studios
Release Date: May 8, 2024
Cover Price: $4.99

The Curia is broken, as Legion's corruption floods the streets of Rome. While the Vatican burns, Father Vieri must make his final stand against the demon that wears his face. Yet with his greatest weapon proven powerless against the Devil, can Vieri and Maria find another way to reclaim his body? Or will the horrifying secrets of Vieri's past turn out to be his undoing? All that is certain is that Legion's depravity has finally been unleashed... and it will take more than a priest to banish this terrifying demon back to Hell.

Score: 
8.5/10

There was only one way 'The Devil That Wears My Face' by David Pepose and Alex Cormack was going to conclude. As expected it ends in one spectacularly bloody cacophony of epic violence. There's been no shortage of terror from Legion leading up to this final showdown with Vieri but this finale enters another gear of hellraising action. 

After some death-defying encounters with Legion previously, Pepose had to raise the bar in this final confrontation. Issue six does not disappoint because Cormack unleashes a vision of jaw-dropping chaos full of terror and carnage. The execution with which Cormack designs these explosive scenes will leave readers aghast at the mayhem and befuddled by its artistry. I often wondered throughout the issue, "How did you do that?" It's a phenomenal piece of horror that is simply stunning. 

'The Devil' has been a fun twisty thriller that held on to its promise of being a mixture of 'Face-Off' and 'The Exorcist.' It started fun and wild initially, but as the series went on, it got much darker, leaning heavily on its horror side to its benefit. Vieri and Maria made a great team and it was essential to work together to try and defeat the powerful Legion. The story wraps up neatly but in one of the most bombastic cinematic ways. 

'The Devil That Wears My Face' ends with a huge bloody conclusion. Pepose and Cormack leave it all on the page in one grotesque but satisfying explosive final issue.

The latest example is the excellent new series from James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds entitled 'The Department of Truth' that's been a bestseller for Image Comics. It proposes conspiracy theories can be all-too-real and for Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino, and Dave St...
