The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of REVELATIONS #1 from Boom! Studios. Paul Jenkins writes, Humberto Ramos draws, and Leonardo
Olea and Edgar Delgado color.
Charlie is an irreverent British detective with a thing for
conspiracy theory books. So when his old friend in the church asks him to come
to the Vatican
to look into an apparent suicide, he’s a little skeptical. But he’s soon
embroiled in a murder that reeks of a cover-up, and he’s not sure who he can
trust.
I call Charlie irreverent for two reasons, namely his
attitude about the church and his narration style. He doesn’t seem to like the
church people much, but he’s certainly a good cop. There’s also some nice
mystery elements added into this issue, as well as a cardinal who doesn’t seem
to like Charlie very much.
This is a nice mystery book with an entertaining protagonist
and the potential for a huge conspiracy. I find myself looking forward to the
next issue.
REVELATIONS #1 is available now at your FLCS and online at boom-studios.com.
