BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS
Top Cow is known for some fine lookin’ covers, like here. In fact, this cover purrs, with its dark detail on the arm shields, the cascading hair, all accentuated by a pose that I could actually see someone doing. And black; when are Top Cow covers so black? So I got it, but unenthusiastically, since I'm not a fan of supernatural comics, and the title struck me as a tired twist from a Dan Brown novel. How wrong could I be. Yes, the twist part still holds, but the calm, ruthless story telling got me. The back-story itself is simple; the present day Magdalena, a descendant in a long line of supernatural enforcers, has departed from her church. Ron Marz explores her decision, letting the tension build as the Church entices her to return, even as a boy is being twisted to great evil. Only some bland, obligatory fist-a-cuffs taints the comic, but I gotta recommend it. Did I mention the cover?
