    How many Hail Mary's to Make this book disappear?

     Religious fanaticism is not my cup of tea. Watching Fabian Nicieza play hop scotch with flashbacks is not my idea of a good comic, not to mention the juvenile quality of Ramon Bachs' art. The storyline is strong, I'm sure, only for those that have a hankering for some Jesus tales. Me? I'm not interested. Michael Lane dawning the "Suit of Sorrows" even though he is well aware of it driving him to his inevitable insanity proves the intrinsic insanity of his character. He embarks on a mission to stop attacks on members of the Catholic Church, but is faced with a moral dilemma regarding the reasons these priests are being attacked. Need I say use your imagination?  I wish I could say the saving grace of this book was the art, but I can't even say that. I should have known by the cover, this was going to be a weak one. Don't pick up this issue, highly unrecommended.

Thankfully DC ha...
