Marian Heretic #1 isn't just a bloody, badass horror comic. It also offers meditations on faith, and how it can be weaponized against others or take different forms.

Fans of Howard's work on Excalibur and Catwoman, or action horror staples like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Underworld need to add this to their pull lists. Read Full Review

A super solid start to this book. Jaro does a really nice job with the art, making the action feel dynamic throughout. Furthermore, he just makes everything look really nice in general. As for the story, I thought it was a pretty intriguing one. Religion is an...interesting topic to say the least, and it seems like this is going to deal with gender within that, as well as questioning religion, which is something religions often advocate against.
