The Magdalena, holy servant of the Catholic Church, is sent to a rural orphanage in France to investigate a series of killings reputed to be have been performed by a vampire. Meanwhile, Father Jasper, a priest from the Netherlands, arrives at the Vatican to speak with Cardinal Innocent, bringing with him ancient relics he found hidden in his church, which could spell the downfall of all Christianity. Don’t miss out on what is sure to be one of the hottest books of 2000!

Vol 2: August 2003 – December 2003
For 2000 years, the Madgalenas have battled in secret, protecting humanity from supernatural menaces of all types. Now Patience, a young and untrained beauty, must take on the role of the new Madgalena, perhaps even before she’s ready. And wouldn’t ya know it, Eric Basaldua, a young and well-trained penciler, takes on the responsibility of becoming Top Cow’s next artistic superstar! He’s ready.

Vol 4: March 2017
The Magdalena has always defended the world from demonic evil, empowered by the blood of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene in her veins. But when a brush with death leaves her gravely wounded, Patience decides to seek out the next in the bloodline and train her replacement. The replacement, meanwhile, is having enough trouble with finding her purpose even without the whole holy warrior gig.
