Steeple, Volume 2: The Silvery Moon: 03/09/22

Steeple, Volume 2: The Silvery Moon by John Allison is the follow up to Steeple (2020). This volume explores the repercussions of previous events.

First and foremost there's the switching of sides by Billie and Maggie. Then there is the on-going paranormal shenanigans. In the middle of all this is Mrs. Clovis trying to keep the rectory functional; the more I read, the more she reminds me of Mrs. McCarthy from Father Brown.

The big story arc this time is the transformation of Warlock Brian Fitzpatrick. It's a parody of the typical modern werewolf plot — think post Oz of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Here though, he isn't transforming into a wolf or even a man wolf. Instead it's something worse and sillier.

As this series is a webcomic, the volumes in print come out once a year. I'm hoping there will be a third volume sometime next year as I'm terrible at reading webcomics.
