Divine Right: The Adventures of Max Faraday #[nn]

In "First Drafts," Jim Lee's dynamic art and storytelling kick off a layered tale where a super-agent infiltrates a high-security zone controlled by the enigmatic Cardinal Lazarus, triggering a wave of demonic pursuit. Meanwhile, a secretive order of monks summons the mysterious Ministers of Mercy, while back home, Max Faraday’s sister wakes him for school—her mundane morning ritual a quiet counterpoint to the escalating supernatural chaos. The issue’s bold visuals, courtesy of Jim Lee and Scott Williams, are brought to life with rich colors by Joe Chiodo, Martin Jimenez, and Wildstorm FX, all under Amie Grenier’s crisp lettering, and framed by a striking cover by Jim Lee and Richard Friend.
