Tini Howard Goes Full Nunsploitation With BOOM! Studios ‘Marian Heretic’

Get ready for the ultimate nunsploitation horror comic with Marian Heretic, a new creator-owned series from BOOM! Studios, written by Tini Howard with art by Joe Jaro.

In the series, per PR from BOOM!, “Sister Marian is a witch hunter of the highest order, a Mother Superior, and a heretic guided by a Goddess the Church refuses to acknowledge. When the Holy Father brands her order blasphemers, Marian strikes a dark bargain to become their personal enforcer.”

With the deal sealed, “she delivers murderous judgement night after night in the city of Vespers, she can feel her soul fracture…but what else can she do with the lives of her sisters at stake?”

The press release doesn’t mention that she’s wearing a sexy nun outfit made for cosplay, but she is, and you can see that in the preview pages below. Marian Heretic #1 hits stores on October 1, 2025, with covers by Jaro, Dylan Burnett, Jenny Frison, and Suspiria Vilchez.
