Revelations," a six-issue mini-series which begins in August from Dark Horse with art by Humberto Ramos, is a project Jenkins has wanted to do for a long time. "It's actually a labor of love," he told CBR News. "Humberto and I have wanted to do this book for a very long time, possibly close to three years."
Jenkins described "Revelations" as detective fiction with a very interesting slant. "Every time I hope that you get to the end of an issue you think, 'Hang on a minute. I thought I knew what was happening and now it's completely changed! It's got lots of twists and turns."
Revelations" protagonist is called in to investigate a death in a very unusual place, The Vatican. "The main guy is a detective named Charlie Northern," Jenkins said. "He's sort of this London boy that's been on the force for many years. He used to be a Catholic and he gets a call from a buddy of his, who he knew when he was a kid, who is now a cardinal. There's been a murder. It looks like an accident. Once Charlie begins to investigate he begins to see that the chances of it being an accident are pretty slim and there's a lot going on behind the scenes."
The strange nature of the death takes Charlie's investigation through many mind-bending twists and turns. "The murder itself takes place under absolutely bizarre circumstances or the death we should say. It's such bizarre circumstances with so many elements that he can't make sense of that," Jenkins explained. "There are so many different permutations of what could actually be happening. He begins to uncover it and when he uncovers one it's like a scab and lots of different things come out at him."
Jenkins said that "Revelations" is not an attack on the Catholic Church. "I'm not a religious guy. I haven't been to church since I was 6. One thing that I always find a bit silly, and it happened when I was first on 'Hellblazer,' was people would sort of say if you put a Catholic priest in he has to be a child molester. As if in order to use Catholicism or any other kind of religions you had to make them all twisted and messed up. I don't agree with that. There are plenty of Catholic priests that are really nice people and very devout. So we show certain layers of this stuff. He's not fighting against the Catholic Church. He's trying to understand what's going on around him."
Jenkins was amazed by the art Humberto Ramos is producing for "Revelations." "Humberto is doing a style of art that is incredibly different from anything that he's done," Jenkins said. "Once people see this art they'll be amazed that this is Humberto. It's got elements of his usual style and it's got a technique that he's using that makes the thing seem like a fully painted version of Humberto. It's so cool. Its so amazing."
