Review – Magdalena #2
Magdalena #2 picks up right where the first issue left off with Patience fighting the demon sent to kill her.
The Star of the Forthcoming Feature Film Gets Her Own Series!
Patience, the current Magdalena, and her mentor Kristof fight for their lives against a demonic horde. Even if she survives the encounter, Patience must decide if the Church is merely luring her back like a lamb to the slaughter…
Writer Ron Marz then does something pretty impressive. He slows the pace of the story, letting it play out at exactly the speed it should. Post battle Patience heads to church to deal with those who want her to return to work for them. The majority of the issue deals with this or the Antichrist picking his next victim to help him summon a new demon. While a child is predictable for that role, its a pick that makes me smile and giggle a bit (what can I say, I’m twisted).
The last few pages will leave you hanging as to whether Patience will pick up her mantle and charge head first to take on evil and I definitely thought the series was going to go in one direction, but I was surprised it spun and went another.
I told you to pick up the first issue, and you definitely should if you haven’t. While you’re out make sure to grab this second one while you’re at it. You won’t be disappointed.
Read on for my extended take including it’s ratings.
