    AIPT - Collier Jennings Oct 7, 2025

    Marian Heretic #1 isn't just a bloody, badass horror comic. It also offers meditations on faith, and how it can be weaponized against others or take different forms. Tini Howard and Joe Jaro have a hell of a concept here, if you'll pardon the pun. Fans of Howard's work on Excalibur and Catwoman, or action horror staples like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Underworld need to add this to their pull lists. Read Full Review

    Marian Heretic #1 has a solid setting and some interesting ideas that could serve the series well down the road, but the story being told here, focuses on an uninteresting character and lacks hooks to pull attention in. Read Full Review

    A super solid start to this book. Jaro does a really nice job with the art, making the action feel dynamic throughout. Furthermore, he just makes everything look really nice in general. As for the story, I thought it was a pretty intriguing one. Religion is an...interesting topic to say the least, and it seems like this is going to deal with gender within that, as well as questioning religion, which is something religions often advocate against.

    When a feminazi has all the freedom to write a creator-owned feminist story, what you get is this shit, a fucking woman with big tits and a fucking flat body running the whole damn thing.
