The Magdalena is a superheroine created by Joe Benitez, David Wohl, and Malachy Coney for Top Cow Productions.[1][2] The character is based on the Biblical character of Mary Magdalene, and the theory of the bloodline resulting from Mary's marriage to Jesus Christ, from which according to the storyline, the Magdalena is descended.
Each Magdalena wields the Spear of Destiny (Holy Lance), the spear that pierced the side of Jesus.
