SERIES PREMIERE! It is 1220 AD, and the gears of the Albigensian Crusade grind on. When an alien spacecraft infested with a horde of bloodthirsty predators crash-lands in the remote wilderness of the French Pyrenees, a small band of crusaders and a Cathar heretic are all that stand between God’s Kingdom and Hell on Earth. DOUBLE-SIZED FIRST ISSUE featuring FORTY-FOUR PAGES of story with no ads for just $3.99!

Blah, blah, blah. Let me summarize:

Bloodthirsty aliens? ✔️
Knights? ✔️
Count me in.

“Path to Doom” part six! In the epic conclusion, the mystery of Black Zero deepens just as the Man of Steel makes a fateful decision that may stop Doomsday, but also risks the lives of those he loves most.

After the first few months of DC Rebirth, Action Comics is the frontrunner for my favourite new (uhh, I mean reborn?) series. I hope the conclusion is as epic as the rest of the event has been!
