The Magdalena

The Magdalena is a sacred warrior serving the Catholic Church, descended from the bloodline of Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ. Chosen to wield the holy Spear of Destiny, she hunts supernatural threats on the Church's behalf, operating in the same artifact-driven world as Witchblade and The Darkness.

Emerging from the gritty, mythology-soaked corners of Image Comics in 2003, The Magdalena made her mark in Witchblade #63 — a debut crafted by David Wohl, Francis Manapul, and Joel Gomez that dropped her straight into one of the Modern Age's most supernaturally charged corners of comics. She keeps extraordinary company, sharing pages with Witchblade, Sara Pezzini, Jackie Estacado, and The Darkness — a who's who of Image's darker, artifact-driven universe — and even crosses paths with the iconic Lara Croft. Her appearances span titles as varied as Darkness/Vampirella and Battle of the Planets, signaling a character willing to venture well beyond her origins, and for collectors drawn to the brooding, mythic side of the Modern Age, those 15 catalog appearances carry real weight as a concentrated slice of early 2000s Image storytelling at its most ambitious.
