The Magdalena

A three-issue miniseries from Infinity Verlag, The Magdalena (2000–2001) follows the lineage of a secret, weapon-wielding female protector tied to a sacred bloodline. Writer Marcia Chen and artist Joe Benitez crafted a supernatural thriller that grounds its mythic premise in visceral action and Benitez’s dynamic, detailed artwork. Though short-lived, the series established a compelling, action-oriented take on a legendary figure, offering a self-contained story that blends religious iconography with modern comic-book sensibility.
