		It was, in truth, a century of Saints, and of Saints of more than ordinary note; at the close of this century as a crowning gift, came the great and beautiful Saint Gertrude, whose history has been little too known among us, while her very name receives a continual homage of reverent love.

		Mechtilde once beheld the heart of the Saint forming, as it were, a firm and stable bridge, the sides of which appeared to her to be bordered, the one with the Divinity of Jesus Christ, and the other with His holy Humanity, as with two walls.

		Unfortunately for Emery the Nuns of Saint Gertrude’s are a tad on the sadistic side.
		Once the boys are safely away they seek refuge in an old, abandoned Church where they meet a Nun who goes by the unlikely moniker of "Saint Sista." She is nothing like the Nuns at Saint Gertrude’s and shows Emery that all Catholics aren’t evil, Bible thumping morons.
		The story of the Saint in issue #1 especially is well paced and looks to be primed for more action-packed vampire stories.
