Exhale is a webcomic about family, loss, responsibility, and magic.

Exhale by VA Doll Illustration of a woman holding a mask while sitting at a table with tarot cards laid out. A ghostly smoke billows around her.  

Alex has just lost her mother at the young age of 22. With that loss, Alex gains the immense burden and title of Family Necromancer—a role she has been preordained to fill since she was a child. Now, it is Alex’s responsibility to make the sacrifices, perform the rituals, and release the spirits of her deceased kin into the afterlife.
