Travis loses his cool again in ‘Sons of the Devil’ #3

Sons of the Devil is unique. Buccellato’s plot explores an element of humanity seldom touched upon in literature: cults and the lives those cults have ruined. Infante’s art, which features expressive figures and a sort of surreal, sketch-like quality, perfectly matches Buccellato’s psychologically-fueled story.

‘Sons of the Devil’ #1 is a true “cult” comic

Sons of the Devil has the potential to be not only a great comic, but a great piece of literature. The story is relevant to the world we live in. It is real. It is gritty. Buccellato and Infante don’t pull any punches in depicting a real world that can often be more harsh than any of us want to realize. If the first issue of this series is anything like what is to come, Buccellato and Infante should each win an Eisner for this series for best writer and best artist. Sons of the Devil is that good.
