Notes:
(1) The first thing you really notice is the difference in art. I don't know if the coloring's digital watercolors, but it's noticeably cleaner.
- It also has what looks like a digitally roughed-up watercolor paper texture.
(2) The first issue is basically a modern retelling of the Annunciation, with a Danny Trejo looking guy as (I can only assume) the angel Gabriel.

Notes:
(1) Catalina's act of worldly rebellion seems a lot like an Amish rumspringa, or at least popular conceptions of one.
- Ultimately, it amounts to the same result, a crystallization of faith and purpose.
- I guess this is the "tempted in the wilderness" analogue/retelling.
(2) We get a "Jupiter's Legacy" reference. "Utopian" and "Lady Liberty" comics lay on the floor.

Notes:
(1) So, from reading the blurb at the back of the book, this is apparently a prequel.
- Though, I'm getting the sense from the title and issue covers that it's more like the other side of the Armageddon coin, and this profiles Jodie's opponent.
(2) This is the same creative team a decade and a half after the last book, so it'll be interesting to compare and contrast.
