Templar Comics. My goodness. The ad is classier than most ads for comics, but the art looks rough.

I'm going to have to read it, though. Just to see what it's like.

Added later: I see that the same author has other works about the Templars: Nobly Born and Compasses and the Cross.

For a moment there, I was almost lulled into thinking of the Saint.

You may not be so far off there!

Please post a review, because even halfway welldone it could be fun.

I was thinking that. I don't know how much I dare to hope! Crusaders don't usually fare well in popular culture.

I'm looking forward to finding out

And yes, I'll report.

The title of the last one alone worries me as probably Templar/Masonic bullshit. The Masons invented links with the Templars just over 200 years ago: it's nothing to do with the real Templars!

My thoughts exactly. It doesn't sound from the book description as if he is exposing a myth as a myth; more likely perpetuating it. But the ad might be misleading... I don't know, and I don't know if this is a good sign or a bad sign for the comic.
