Battle Pope #7

Battle Pope #7 delivers exactly what the tagline promises — "When he's not leadin' mass, he's out kickin' ass!" — as the cover erupts with the Pope himself squaring off gun-to-gun against a dark, caped figure while skeletal demons and a hulking armored monstrosity close in from all sides. It's a wonderfully absurd premise executed with genuine intensity, and the creative team of Staples, Kirkman, Roberts, and Moore brings a gritty, kinetic energy to every corner of the image. If irreverent action with a theological twist is your thing, this Image series consistently delivers the goods.
