I was curious to see if they'd clarify some of the deeper lore aspects of Ghost, in this comic, but they've stayed clear of too-definitive-answers. It was an alright read, aimed for Ghost fans, disjointed to newcomers.

Not much about the origin of The Clergy is explained : the comic seems to let on that Sister Imperator was the founder of the Ghost band, but where does the Clergy fits in? In the web series, Papa Nihil say his father and his father's father, and his father's father's father (etc.) were Papa before him, so then why would Sister Imperator be the one to introduce him to this philosophy?

Overall, just a fun read about Sister Imperator being cool and tortured.

I thought I would just be getting a short backstory in comic form for Sister Imperator, but this blew my expectations out of the water.

It’s not just more lore for fans, it’s a damn good story with great messaging and an interesting plot. A reader who knows nothing about Ghost could pick this up and be totally immersed.

Please, even if you don’t know anything about Ghost, pick this up and give it a chance. I love Sister even more now and her story pulls at my heartstrings.

And if you do love Ghost and know all of the lore, this is so cool! Getting to finally learn more about Sister Imperator is incredibly satisfying as a long-time fan.
