A squad of Adepta Sororitas, led by Canoness Veridyan, arrives on Planet Siscia to retrieve a lost Inquisitorial acolyte and put down a heretical uprising. It seems like only yesterday that we were announcing the groundbreaking arrival of a Warhammer 40,000 comic, doesn’t it? The Sisters learn the story and fate of the Inquisitorial Acolyte, but this doesnt necessarily equal mission accomplished… And: a discovery of the nature of SISCIA will require a drastic battleplan that will change the face of the planet forever! Surprisingly, the book is light on gore, though what the Sisters fight against near the end of the book is undoubtedly frightening. In 40k lore, they are the military arm of the Ecclesiarchy, the Imperium of Man’s official religion, which worships the Emperor as a god.

That means blood, and gore, and death, and little old ladies that spontaneously morph into giant purple tentacle things and eat people’s heads off. Show your faith and fervour to the Emperor by joining us for the start of the next phase of WARHAMMER comics at Marvel!The new series will tell an all-new action-packed adventure of the sisterhood of warriors known as the Adepta Sororitas. Outside of comic journalism, I am the artist of many weird pictures, and the guitarist of many heavy riffs.

The Sisters of Battle faction is currently very prominent in various areas of Warhammer 40k’s new releases and lore developments, as the tabletop army received a top-to-bottom relaunch, including a huge new range of plastic models, starting in 2019. It takes a particular talent to keep track of all the details essential to the 40K universe, and Edgar is next-level great," Grønbekk concludes. You’ll never see a Space Marine mourning, likely because they are literally manufactured to know no fear. I believe I own every Warhammer graphic novel to date, the only one to really compare this to would be it’s most recent counterpart on calgar.We haven't seen the third story announced yet, but if they continue to give creators like GrØnbekk the keys to the kingdom, existing fans and newbies alike will gravitate towards these stories. We're in a universe where attack is the best defense and suffering is prayer, and I couldn't be happier to enter the battle with the Adepta Sororitas. Despite the billions of mortal soldiers prosecuting that war, the camera more often than not lingers on the Space Marines.

Written by Torunn Grønbekk ( The Mighty Valkyries ) and with art by Edgar Salazar ( Uncanny X-Men ), the series follows a squad of Battle Sisters as they fight to retrieve a lost Inquisitorial acolyte on planet Siscia and put down a heretical uprising for good measure.

Other comic books set in Warhammer’s universes have previously been published by the firm’s own Black Library label – which released titles such as Kal Jerico and Daemonifuge – as well as third parties like Boom! Torunn GrØnbekk opens the story with a man in cobbled-together armor throwing what appear to be religious priests off a very high ledge.
