What I've Read - more Rex Mundi.

Yay Xmas presents.

Great comic/graphic novel series that never disappoints. Alt history/religion/conspiracy/mysticism/mystery = awesome. The penultimate volume [5 of 6.]

Rex Mundi, Book Five: The Valley at the End of the World
by Arvid Nelson and Juan Ferreyra.

Rex Mundi (Dark Horse Comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"Rex Mundi is an American comic book published by Dark Horse Comics...

The series is a quest for the Holy Grail told as a murder mystery. It is set in the year 1933, in an alternate history Europe, where magic is real, feudalism persisted, and the Protestant Reformation was crushed by a still politically powerful Roman Catholic Church. All of this is woven together as '… a meditation on the prophecies surrounding the advent of the Bahá'í era.” The book takes its name from the Latin term meaning 'King of the World'. It is derived from the Cathar heresies of the Middle Ages, and taken up in works like Holy Blood, Holy Grail. Within the Cathar context it seems to have been equated with the Demiurge."
