Mike Luoma here again -you may know me from my PANTHEA OBSCURA, RED HOT! or HOLY S#!T: OR... PAT ROBERTSON IS THE ANTI-CHRIST here at Drunk Duck.

Ring in the New Year with the first 6 pages from my new comic VATICAN ASSASSIN posting January 1st: http://www.drunkduck.com/Vatican_Assassin/ !

I'm adapting the first book in my "Vatican Assassin" Science Fiction Trilogy as a graphic novel with artist Cristian Navarro! If you like political intrigue, religious assassins, undercover agents and interplanetary war, you'll want to read VATICAN ASSASSIN:

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 (http://www.amazon.com/VATICAN-ASSASSIN-MIKE-LUOMA/dp/1411665317/ ) – the chapters of the audiobook, available FREE at Podiobooks.com (http://www.podiobooks.com/title/vatican-assassin-remastered ), have been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times – now we're turning it into a comic book!

The first issue of the black and white comic is available at the online comic book store Indy Planet (http://www.indyplanet.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=3144 ). The pages will be appearing twice weekly as a webcomic at Drunk Duck beginning January 1st.
