	Description:		Jace takes a look at the first issue of The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace from writer Hannah Rose May, artist Kelsey Ramsey, colorist Heather Breckel and letterer Joe Troutman, discussing how the series builds on the ideas introduced in The Exorcism at 1600 Penn while shifting tone toward a more character-focused and atmospheric approach. The episode covers the setup involving a tragedy at sea that leaves the British royal line in crisis, the introduction of Theo as the reluctant heir to the throne, and the growing suggestion of a malevolent entity tied to the Belmont family that may be influencing his behavior. Jace also examines the pacing differences compared to the previous series, the use of horror elements alongside themes of duty, addiction and public pressure, and how the depiction of the monarchy and media attention adds a grounded layer to the supernatural story. The discussion includes thoughts on Ramsey's textured and visceral art style, how it supports the tone of the narrative, and why the issue presents a compelling foundation for the series moving forward.
