"Stragglers," the gripping first chapter of First Born: Aftermath #1, finds Patience grappling with the weight of her actions after killing angels to protect Sara and her newborn. Written by Ron Marz and illustrated with haunting detail by Ryan Sook—whose pencils and inks bring the story’s emotional intensity to life—this issue explores her crumbling faith as the church, in turn, begins to question her worth and selects a new Magdalena. The cover, a striking piece by Stjepan Šejić, captures the quiet dread of this turning point.
