So far, Saints by Sean Lewis and Ben Mackey has been a good book – an interesting premise, relatable characters, and pretty much a narrative that one would like to generally keep tabs on. However, with Saints 3, the series has ascended from ‘good’ to ‘great.’

This issue starts where the previous one left off with Sebastian, Lucy, and Blaise encountering another Saint whose power is derived from Saint Steven – dude can manipulate rocks.

Lucy wants to talk it out with Stephen, to settle this deadly confrontation peacefully, but Sebastian wants to put an arrow in him to end this quickly. Blaise, on the other hand, finds a place to cower and converse with the painting – this has been his MO so far the entire series: he’s a healer, so what good is he in combat? Be selfish, be a coward, avoid the fight.
