By Jacob Cordas — The first volume of Faithless was a gut punch and a reach around all at the same time. I had become jaded with writer Brian Azzarello at this point, concerned that his best work was behind him. And artist Maria Llovet was completely off my radar. But the art looked great and Azzarello had built up so much good will with me after writing one of my preferred runs of Hellblazer, I decided to give it a shot.
