Where Can I Read Satania Online For Free?

The webcomic ‘Satania’ by Mauricio Caballero is so full of energy and has such a wonderful dark humor. Although I would encourage buying the official volumes by this artist (because they are worth it!), sometimes people can’t afford to buy things. So they look for free versions of comics online. There are lots of places on the internet where people upload their own fan-made translations and/or scans of comics. Some of these sites are MangaDex or Bato.to, but be warned that the quality is usually very low and most of the stuff on there is also illegal. There are also scanlation groups that have translated ‘Satania’ years ago, but most of their sites are now defunct.

Be careful, though. Illegal sites load a zillion pop-ups. Last time I tried to read Satania on some aggregate site, I spent three hours of my life closing tabs to get rid of malware, only to read 3 pages or so of poor-quality scans. If you do happen to come across some clean fan-hosted scans, take note, though - a lot of those sites also host paid content and the artist is probably getting nothing from your reading his work for free on their site. Caballero is totally worth the support on Patreon, though - his inky, shadowy art style is criminally underrated, and Satania looks especially great with those big, grinned cheeks of his. Get the physical version if you can - it's way better than scanning over a low-res image of the thing.

Most webcomics are pretty “meh” about people distributing them, but that’s not the case for Satania. For now, your best bet is to check the creator’s social media for updates every now and then – he sometimes posts new pages or lets people know about sales of the printed book. In the meantime, you might be able to snag Satania at discount from secondhand bookstores on-line.
