This is like chick-lit pnr/urban fantasy that thinks it's funny when it's just ... not, though I hated this issue a little less than the first one.

I love how Exorsisters is one of those series that can be easily underestimated. At a quick glance it looks sort of goofy and casual, but the deeper you dive the more you realize that there’s so much more going on than meets the eye.
At the end of the last issue they hinted (well, flat out told us) that the girls aren’t really twins…or even sisters. This issue continued on that theme, but they took a while to get there. The buildup was worth it though. I’ll admit I was a bit shocked by how horrified I felt. The implications of it…not to mention the person that would be willing to do that to anybody else…if you could see me now you’d know I just shivered.
But don’t worry; there are plenty of humorous points as well. Granted, most of those are at the beginning of the issue, but that’s okay. I’ll admit that I did like the explanation for what the girls really are, as well as the whole story telling us the how and why of it all.

Double Snark
Sometimes you just like something for no reason you can put your finger on. The drawing here is a little cartoony, the dialogue is snappy enough but not exactly Oscar Wilde, and the demonic action is fairly predictable. But It just amuses me and I'm happy when a new issue comes out.
In this one we find out Cate and Kate's backstory and get hints about a darker arc to come. Fine.

I enjoyed everything until the backstory about Cate and Kate's origin story. I hope the book either builds up and improves on what this offers or we just accept that this is what it is and move on.
I think the art is excellent, and how they're offering the interaction of the spirit world and the corporeal world is fun.

This one was a bit better than the first issue. It is mainly backstory for the characters, and explores their relationship with their mother. It felt really short, and surface level, but still revealed enough that I want to know more.

Well that was an interesting turn of events that I didn't see that coming, but I am glad we now know what happened. But I sense that isn't everything.
