A PACT IS MADE…   

When a young, shy girl named Ava discovers that the demon who haunts her is actually the spirit of an ancient alien queen named Wrathia, the two form a powerful pact―in exchange for a better life, Ava must help Wrathia seek revenge against TITAN, the god-like being who destroyed her empire.   

To aid Ava against TITAN, she must first assemble Wrathia’s most trusted warriors and the lifeforms they haunt. The only problem is, she doesn’t know what they look like, or where to find them.   

Joining her on her mission is Maggie, Ava’s former best friend and fellow refugee, Odin, a brooding young man with a mysterious past, and Gil, a dedicated follower of TITAN. And unbeknownst to Ava, all three of them are hiding their own inner demons… looks like Wrathia’s army might be closer than she thinks.

Review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

The start of an epic graphic novel series starring a bunch of teens who contain alien demons within them. 

Ava has always been haunted by a demon that lives inside her. One fateful day, she learns that this demon is actually a powerful alien queen by the name of Wrathia. After a tragic accident takes Ava's life, she forms a pact with Wrathia to hunt down her elite warriors in exchange for a second chance at life. Now tasked to find other people who are harboring demons just like her, Ava must do all she can to help Wrathia get revenge against the all-powerful TITAN. Along for the ride is Maggie, Ava's former best friend and fellow refugee, Odin, an elusive teen with a stutter, and Gil, a brainwashed follower of TITAN. Ava doesn't know it yet, but three of Wrathia's warriors are closer than she ever could have imagined. 

Note: This volume contains the first five chapters of the "Ava's Demon" webcomic. This series can be found here: https://avasdemon.com/

Honestly, this was a pretty confusing read all things considered, but I am also greatly intrigued. This world is insanely complex and has so many moving parts that I am unaware of thus far, which has me super intrigued to see what the heck this series actually entails in future installments. 

I find fantasies that feature demons to be incredibly interesting. Making bargains and pacts with such suspicious creatures is always a gamble, which is certainly the case in this series. There is absolutely no way that all of the pacts that are going on aren't going to blow up in these teens' faces. 

I am really enjoying the diverse cast of characters in this one. Ava is a shy, suicidal girl who just wants to find happiness. Maggie is a bit of a stuck-up snob who is desperate for love. Gil is a loyal to a fault sort of guy who just wants to know why he is the way he is. And Odin is a mysterious teen who is part of a strange organization with hidden goals and dubious origins. We only got to briefly meet all of their demons in this first installment, but it was interesting to see how they all blend together with their chosen bodies. 

The art in this one is cute, but also really creepy at the same time. Ava is such a sweet girl and her base design shows it, but Wrathia is a fire alien who lives for revenge. The way that these two designs merge together is insanely sick and I'm looking forward to checking out the other characters merged designs as the series progresses. The character designs in this series are seriously sick and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them! 

Overall, I found the first installment of "Ava's Demon" to be a bit confusing but in the best way possible. There is so much going on and so much lore to piece together; I found myself so enraptured by this world that Fus is stringing together. I am very intrigued to slowly make my way through the rest of this series. I'm not quite sure whether I'll wait for the physical versions to release, or if I'll consume the web version, but either way, I am curious to see where this story takes me!
