Top Cow Classics in Black and White: Magdalena

™ and ©2002 Michael Avon Oeming

Reprinting in glorious black and white the fantastic first issue of Marcia Chen’s The Magdalena, we see the beginnings of the decedents of Mary Magdalene and how the first-born girl is trained each generation to protect the Catholic church and mankind in general from any evils that befall it. During World War II, for example, the Sword of Destiny is placed in her care after she seeks out and finds the fallen Hitler. Trained in fighting and in ancient lore, the Magdalena is a champion of the weak as well as a guardian of the Church.

This issue gives not only the basic introductions made back in early 2000, but includes a multipage history of The Magdalena over various tales, which might spur readers to go seek out back issues and relive this breathtaking saga.
