Intriguing storyline for a religious conspiracy noir. The art is too static; the changes of artists in the end did not help either.

Don't dig into this unless you enjoy alt-history. Keeping track of the deviations from actual history is fun, but could be tedious for some. I liked that this was a long-arc mystery (and the 500-ish pages of this book is only the first half of the story), but since it is divided into two separate omnibus volumes, this first volume ends at a somewhat climactic point very abruptly. You really need the second volume for the full story (which I'm waiting to get my hands on).

I like occult conspiracy stories, and Rex Mundi is a little gem of a comic. Well worth checking out.
