Ron Marz injects new life into this Top Cow character. The Magdalena wields the Spear of Destiny, which is known as the spear that pierced the side of Jesus. She is meant to be the protector of the Roman Catholic Church, although her allegiance is more to the common good than to serving the Church these days.
The opening arc of this series is masterfully written and nicely drawn. It will interest anyone who likes a bit of religious myth and intrigue to go along with the comic book action. This issue #4 is a pivotal point of the story, where the Magdelena closes in on the child who is rumored to be the devil on earth. It will satisfy your short-term comic desires while leaving you wanting the next issue SOON!
