This week, I have been mostly reading The Magdalena.

I had a flick through vol.1, but it was too dark and the art too cheesecakey and Top Cow-y (I know, there's a shock.) Why would the Catholic Church's black ops warrior wear a belly shirt and a pair of briefs as well as her armour and cowl? It's not like the Catholic church is a massive fan of people in their orders flaunting their flesh.

The third volume was much better, with much clearer art and a decent (but not great) story. I just need to read #8 of it and then have a look at the Phil Hester drawn Magdalena vs. Daredevil.

For those of you who don't know, this is what the Magdalena is

Our current Magdalena, Patience, is the one on the right.

I'd like to know this too. If the spread above is from the third volume, I'm definitely interested.

There is some history that crops up that may be good to know, but you can probably fill in the blanks pretty easily.

The second volume (collected in Magdalena origins 2) is another option, as that's the one where *this* Magdalena got her start (the first one was the prior Mags).

No need to worry about the first volume at all.
