After two years on the run, mob boss Don Cagliostro discovers his young wife, Maria--seeking escape from a life of organized crime--has been hiding in a nunnery in northern Europe. What the don doesn't know is that his right-hand man, Sullivan, who's been tasked with bringing the girl back home, is actually an undercover FBI agent seeking out Maria as a star witness in his case against the family. A simple-enough task . . . until info on Maria's whereabouts leaks. When mobsters, mercenaries, and hit men converge on the convent in the hopes of collecting a reward for bringing Maria to the don, the holy ground becomes a battleground!
Victor Santos (Black Market, Sleepy Hollow) closes out his silent web-comic trilogy Polar with this third action-packed season!
"A visual tour de force. With Polar, Victor Santos takes his seat at the table of the great graphic storytellers." -Brian Azzarello
"[Victor Santos's] inspired cartooning fills this comic with energy and life. The action scenes are a thing of wonder . . . It's frantic and kinetic, inserting you into the moment and making you feel the intensity." -IGN
"Carrying on Frank Miller's tradition of extremely stylized, visually striking storytelling, but still keeping its own voice. This is good comics." -Francesco Francavilla
