Marian Heretic #3 cements the series as Boom! Studios' next major powerhouse. It balances a budding romance, internal church politics, and high-octane action with a level of sophistication rarely seen in indie comics. If you aren't on this train yet, get on it now, before the rest of the world catches on and those first prints become impossible to find.

Something is Killing the Children #45 successfully clarifies Erica's cold disposition and her eagerness to save people. Prequels are frequently dismissed for either not revealing enough or revealing too much. This series consistently avoids those traps, using flashbacks to add nuance to the surviving characters.
