In her Substack newsletter two weeks ago, comic book writer Tini Howard wrote "what the hell, let's have a little fun. I've got a slamming con schedule the next few months. For reasons that will become clear in two weeks, let's call it — THE HERETIC TOUR 2025 . Seven cities, four months. Good lord, Tini, why? You'll see why in two weeks. I've got stuff coming out I want to get in every one of your little hands, and getting in various faces is one of the best ways I can do that." And now it has all been revealed, a new comic book series being published by Boom Studios, by Tini Howard and Joe Jaro for Marian Heretic #1 for October 2025.

Here's a Retailer Lunch trailer and preview below.

"A provocative, high-octane new take on nunsploitation, religious horror, rebellion, and good ole fashioned monster hunting ….Sister Marian is a witch hunter of the highest order, a Mother Superior, and a heretic guided by a Goddess the Church refuses to acknowledge. When the Holy Father brands her order blasphemers, Marian strikes a dark bargain to become their personal enforcer. As she delivers murderous judgement night after night in the city of Vespers, she can feel her soul fracture…but what else can she do with the lives of her sisters at stake?"

Marian Heretic #1 has covers by Joe Jaro, with variants by Dylan Burnett, Jenny Frison, and Suspiria Vilchez.
