THE CRIMSON NUN #2: HOLY HEROICS!

Indy Comics' The Crimson Nun, is an action-adventure gift from writer Ron Fortier, inspired by Benn Dunn's Warrior Nun, as well as the legendary Joan of Arc. Issue #2, "Rebellion," carries the titular character's exploits to even higher, pious heights, featuring breathtaking artwork by Jesse Thomas, stylish lettering by Mike Belcher and a captivating cover by Jonathan Mcdaniel.

In the prior installment, the original Crimson Nun, Alicia Smith, was crucified by the Black Cardinal and Nazi agent, Dietrich. However, the next-generation Crimson Nun, Gabrielle Cauxvette, saved the day, thanks to her enlightened prowess. 

For this latest release, Fortier, Thomas and Belcher place Cauxvette in a gripping flashback, where she tells the recuperating Smith and visiting Father Odeysseus how the spirit of Joan of Arc enlisted her to fight evil. She also reveals how she traveled to Rome for further, spiritual ascension, only to come upon a frightful assault.

The combination of crisp storytelling and magnificent artwork designates The Crimson Nun #2 as a great sequel, with more installments yet in come via Kickstarter. 

Be on the lookout for updates on this superb saga. The Crimson Nun is far too great a blessing to miss!

THE CRIMSON NUN: FORTIER, THOMAS & BELCHER

Inspired by Ben Dunn's Warrior Nun (a cult favorite of the 1990s), as well as the legend of Joan of Arc and some good ol' Catholic know-how, writer Ron Fortier's The Crimson Nun blazes onto the scene with sizzling action, enhanced with breathtaking artwork by Jesse Thomas and spiffy lettering by Mike Belcher. 

For Fortier's first, Crimson Nun installment, "Rebellion," readers are transported to Paris 1431, on the final day of Saint Joan's life, where she is burned at the stake and her body deposited into the Seine, only to be retrieved through surreptitious means.  

The story then shifts to a mysterious locale in 1938, where the vile Black Cardinal and his creepy acolytes, assisted by their Nazi ally, Agent Dietrich, have crucified the original Crimson Nun, Alicia Smith. It doesn't take long before a bodacious avenger intervenes to save Smith--and Hallelujah!--it's none other than the next-generation Crimson Nun, Gabrielle Cauxvette, who administers combative skills that'll make one's head spin!

Future chapters of Fortier's saga will explain Cauxvette's amazing advent, along with her connection to Pope Pius XI. For now, the initial exploit satisfies as a taut blend of old-world ambiance combined with 1930s intrigue. Moreover, Issue #1 shows that evildoers should take heed or else face the righteous wrath of this striking, holy crusader.  

Be on the lookout for The Crimson Nun #1 from Indy Comics. It's way too great a blessing to ignore!
