Excommunicated #2 — Jeremy Robinson and Tiago Palma Raise the Stakes in Vault’s Unholy Thriller

Josephine’s alliance with a demon leaves her with gaps in her memory and Vatican forces at her heels. Jeremy Robinson and Tiago Palma turn a simple exorcism backfire into a high-stakes game of survival where the enemy might be the only one who can help.

If you enjoyed the way Excommunicated #1 twisted the familiar exorcism trope into something fresh and terrifying, you’re going to want to see where that thread leads. Jeremy Robinson and Tiago Palma have set up a board full of dangerous pieces, and in issue #2, they start moving them with precision. This isn’t just a horror comic; it’s a tactical survival story where every ally might have an agenda, and every safe space is just another trap waiting to spring.

Tiago Palma’s art is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, capturing the visceral tension of a woman who doesn’t trust the hand saving her life. The visual storytelling highlights the paranoia of the situation — Josephine is surrounded by powerful forces on all sides, and the audience is left wondering whose side the demon is really on. It’s a masterclass in building dread through uncertainty.

I’d also recommend keeping an eye on how Robinson handles the lore of the Edimmu. If you like your supernatural threats with a bit of historical weight and a healthy dose of moral ambiguity, this series is delivering. The way the Catholic elements are woven into the action makes the world feel lived-in and dangerous, rather than just a backdrop for the scares.

The second issue is where the series truly finds its footing, turning the initial shock of the first drop into a sustained narrative engine. If you’re looking for a comic that balances horror with genuine character complexity, this is the one to grab. These copies move fast, so I’d suggest checking the product page before the shelf gets lighter.
