[[http://vaticanassassinscomic.com Vatican Assassins]] is a bi-weekly longform webcomic by Melissa J Massey, which has been published online since February 2012. It went through a reboot that started in September 2016.
In 1942, the Vatican established a secret militia with 3 goals: to protect the pope and Catholic church; to gather the "Blessed Children", those chosen by the saints; and the fight demons that infiltrate the human world. By "resonating" with their patron saint, the Blessed Children gain powers need to fight the demons, but demons seek to eat Blessed Children to gain incredible power.
Viola di Largolinio, Fife O'Reilly, and Xylophone Phobus are still in training under Sister Rain, the head of the Assassins. While anxious to get more missions, they still have a lot to learn compared to their older comrades. But when an Assassin goes missing, soon the Assassins are up against a powerful foe the likes of which haven't walked the earth for centuries.
In May of 2016, the comic went on hiatus, and returned in September with a rebooted version with the general story in tact, but with slight changes to the plot to remove problematic scenes and elements.

In 1942, the Vatican established a secret militia called "The Assassins." This is a codename to protect the true nature of the group. All the members are "Blessed Children", chosen by saints to get special powers through "resonating". Only these individuals can fight demons that try to materialize in the human world. The downside is that demons seek to eat Blessed Children to gain incredible power.
Viola di Largolinio, Fife O'Reilly, and Xylophone Phobus are still in training under Sister Rain, the head of the Assassins. Viola is anxious for better missions to prove herself. Everything is going along as normal until Flute Vermicelli, another Assassin, goes missing and sets off a chain of events that results in a dangerous new enemy, the likes of which the Assassins have never seen before.
