Steeple, John Allison.
This is great. As an Anglican priest this made me smile. Clever, goofy, OTT, quirky British humour. I've ordered the rest of the series.
#2 - "Reverend doesn't need someone to organise coffee mornings, Miss Baxter. He needs someone who can swing a cudgel."
"What kind of biscuits? It better not be them WAFERS." "The Body of Christ isn't a snack, Stan. It's more of a TREAT."
"If you think about it, heavy rain's just like a sea with holes in it."

"STEEPLE #2, out this week from Dark Horse Comics, reminds us that there is more than one way to fight the evil of the world. Steeple tackles the rich debates of religion, expectations, and how to give back.
Steeple is the latest series to come from the mind of John Allison. And like Giant Days, this series is already proving to defy expectations and preconceptions about it. The series is set in a coastal city – one which has much more going on than meets the eye.
This is a land over which many forces battle over. The monsters of the sea want it back, while one Vicar stands in their way. Meanwhile, another…less orthodox church has taken up residence. It’s relatively easy to start making assumptions about how the series is going to go from here.
But Steeple #2 has already taken a few surprising turns for the newly formed fans. And that’s brilliant. Once again, Allison is busting expectations and defying the norms, all while providing fans with an enchanting escape from the real world."
