Warrior Nun Areala

In the late 1990s, Antarctic Press unleashed a six-issue series starring the armored, gun-toting Warrior Nun Areala, a martial-arts mystic serving a militant order of the Church. Written by Barry Lyga with art by Brian Denham, Yanick Paquette, and Ben Dunn, the series blended supernatural action with a punk-rock aesthetic, carving out a unique niche in the publisher's indie lineup. It stands as a key chapter in the Warrior Nun mythos, showcasing the character's evolution from a one-shot concept into a cult-favorite icon of the era.
