Introducing “Vatican Assassin” – The Comic Book

It’s 2109 and an interplanetary religious war is raging between Earth, The Moon and Mars. BC – Bernard Campion – may appear to be a priest in the New catholic Church, but he’s actually an undercover assassin for the Pope.

His new assignment? Visit the city on the Moon, Lunar Prime, act as Public Relations liaison for the Cardinal there – And assassinate the Governor of Lunar Prime, Meredith McEntyre!

“Vatican Assassin” has enjoyed success as a novel (the first third of Luoma’s “Vatican Assassin” Trilogy) – the chapters of the audiobook (available FREE at Podiobooks.com) have been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times – now Luoma and artist Cristian Navarro are adapting the story, turning it into a graphic novel!

The first issue of the black and white comic book is available at the online comic book store Indy Planet (IndyPlanet.com). The pages will be appearing twice weekly as a webcomic at Drunk Duck (drunkduck.com) beginning January 1st.

    I like the sound of it and the idea of turning novel into graphic novel!

    I’m a science fiction writer (of sorts) myself:
