Battle Pope #6

Battle Pope brings its irreverent blend of action and absurdist humor to issue #6, and the cover sets the tone perfectly. A massively built Pope — papal mitre perched atop his battle-scarred face — sits in the foreground looking thoroughly unimpressed, while a haloed, long-haired figure stands bathed in holy light behind him; the speech bubble deadpans, "Cripes, d'you feel a draft?" It's a winning combination of the sacred and the ridiculous that captures exactly what this Image series does so well.
