From the Hammer Lane down the Road to Damnation

The weather is a moderate to toasty warm for those living in hell. Humidity is never a problem and any surface is a cooking surface. Doing the laundry is no problem when the weather always free from rain.

The eagerly anticipated series begins here with stunning art and a story that only Garth Ennis could tell. He's paying the price for his deal with the Devil--is the Ghost Rider condemned to ride the highways of Hell for all eternity?

His saving grace could be in the form of an unlikely ally--an industrious angel with a deal that would free Ghost Rider once and for all! Miss this series at the risk of your very soul!

"At the risk of your very soul"?

Souls cost no more than five dollars. When eternal hell and damnation are on offer, there is nothing like the quick buck made from selling a non-existent.

All those who enter the hallowed halls of hell with nary a soul between them shall only eat at the buffet when all others have taken their picks.

Revelations #1 (of 6); Writer: Paul Jenkins, Penciller: Humberto Ramos, Colorist: Leonardo Olea
"...And the Lord of the many will make sure s/he appears in a right sum of comics..."

Chosen by Mark Millar and Peter Gross featured the second coming of the Lord's loins in Jesus H. Christ. Or such. Battle Pope by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore features a smokin' and wrasslin' People's Pope.

And now, from Paul Jenkins and Humberto Ramos, Revelations. Continuing the saga and trend of the Almighty Allah appearing in comics...

Charlie Northern may be one of the best detectives in Scotland Yard but that doesn't keep him from enjoying a night off curled up with a good book of conspiracy theories and a full pack of cigarettes.

That is, until an old friend shows up at his door with the news that a high-ranking Vatican official and probable successor to the Pope has mysteriously died.

Now, Northern must travel to Rome and seek out the facts in a place legendary for keeping its secrets. There are forces at work in The Holy See that want Northern to fail--forces darker and more ancient than any in his favorite dime-store paperbacks.

Debate, discuss and sacrifice virgins at the stake. Make with the merry drinking of the wine. So long as they believe, they will create. And you shall read their stories.

 
 

Battle Pope, getting the job done over other Popes

Battle Pope Colour #1; written by Robert Kirkman, art and cover by Tony Moore
Don't look for any other papal puncher, especially when Battle Pope is around. More the fighter than any previous Pope, this Pontiff knows how to smite the right back into the demons and sinners of the world.

When he's not leadin' mass, he's out kickin' ass! After the Rapture the sole protector of the sinning masses is Battle Pope, and his trusty sidekick, Jesus. They're the last line of defense in a world overrun with demons and depravity.

When praying for a miracle to come and send that boat in the biblical flood, why bother with any of those currently installed in the Vatican City. Ask yourself, "What has Pope Benedict XVI done for me lately?"

Lest the talking of the voices in the head ring clear, the answer will be swimming in a resounding silence.

 
 

Daredevil locked out of church, no spare keys

The Man Without Fear, Daredevil (revealed to be lawyer Matt Murdock in a tabloid), joined millions of other pilgrims in the Vatican City when he arrived just in time to be too late to pay his respects to the late Pope John Paul II.

With no spare keys, or even an original set to provide access, Daredevil was left hanging out on a church spire. Eyeing the entrance for a possible opening, he is yet likely to make an entrance into the proceedings which have now entered the phase in which a new Pontiff will be elected by the Church.

Finding and contacting a Cardinal proved to be just as hard as breaking the barriers of human masses swarming the square during the days of mourning. Locking themselves in the conclave, the College of Cardinals have barred all communication with the outside world. This includes denying late attendees any chance to talk with them about Pope John Paul II's successor outside of the puffs of smoke.

It's not known quite how long the interregnum, or The Vacancy of the Holy See, will actually last for.

Pope John Paul II's crypt in Saint Peter's Basilica is expected to reopen to the public on Wednesday.
