The Devil May Cry video game franchise has been around for over 10 years, gathering faithful fans across multiple platforms. Fans of the 2013 release DmC: Devil May Cry reboot may be curious about where the characters stand before the start of the video game. For those who have played the game DmC: Devil May Cry: The Chronicles of Vergil from Titan Comics offers insight into the backstory of Vergil, Kat, and Dante. However, you do not need to be a long-time Devil May Cry fan to appreciate the intense world-building and high-stakes fighting in Izu and Patrick Pion comic prologue.

DMC- Vergil

In a world overrun by demons in disguise, Vergil stands as a behind-the-scenes protector. His goal: release his brother Dante from the Hellfire prison, run by demons in the shadows.

Meanwhile, we are introduced to Kat, a psychic still developing her powers. She makes an important discovery concerning humanity’s interaction with demons hidden in the world. Vergil, ever vigilant, cannot miss an opportunity to make use of Kat’s unique power set.

DmC: Devil May Cry gamers will find this comic an informative must-read. Newcomers to the Devil May Cry world may have difficulty adjusting to the world-building at the beginning of the comic. This is where Kat comes in. As a character who has little knowledge about the relationship of Limbo, Hellfire, and human’s world, the reader can instantly relate to her questions and concerns. We gain understanding while she gets a grip on her psychic abilities.

Pion’s art throughout the comic is highly detailed. We see an incredible range of human emotions juxtaposed to nasty, terrifying demons. The colors by Digikore Studio amp up the feeling of danger that Pion set to page.

DMC- Interior

The story sets up readers for the plot of DmC: Devil May Cry. It can, however, stand on its own. Cautious gamers can check out DmC: Devil May Cry: Chronicles of Vergil for a taste of Capcom’s wildly successful video game franchise.
