Lorelei: Sects and the City

by Steven A. Roman, Eliseu Gouveia (Illustrator), Steve Geiger (Illustrator)

An exciting Mature Readers graphic novel, written by Steven A. Roman, bestselling author of X-Men: The Chaos Engine Trilogy and The Saga of Pandora Zwieback! The old gods are returning-at least that is the intention of the nefarious Cult of Nehalenna and its beautiful, mad high priestess, Rebecca Travers. For decades the minions of chaos have kept to the shadows, biding their time, waiting for the right moment to strike-and now that time has come. All they need is a rare book, an ancient grimoire that will allow them to summon their otherworldly masters and usher in a new age of darkness. But standing in the way of the cult's horrific plans is a soul-stealing succubus named Lorelei. Once human, now cursed with supernatural powers-and insatiable desires-this redheaded temptress may be the world's only hope for keeping the old gods at bay. Will Lori triumph against the overwhelming odds facing her...or become Rebecca's latest sacrificial offering? Featuring art by Eliseu Gouveia (Carmilla), Steve Geiger (Web of Spider-Man), Neil Vokes (Flesh and Blood), and comics legend Ernie Colon (Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld).

This was a fun read with really nice artwork. Lorelei the succubus is a great tribute to the old Warren magazines. If you like supernatural schlock this is definitely for you.
