THE TITHE answers fans’ prayers with collected trade paperback

"Wait, this comic is about a group that robs from mega-churches and gives the money to charity? That's cool as hell! This comic is really great!" —Robert Kirkman

"The Tithe's aim is true—targeting the hypocrisy born of naivete.
As such it will piss off a lot of people. My only regret is that I didn't write it. Well, done, Mr. Hawkins!" —Jim Valentino

Writer Matt Hawkins (THINK TANK, TALES OF HONOR) and artist Rahsan Ekedal’s (THINK TANK) team up for all-new thriller suspense series in THE TITHE, VOL. 1, hitting stores this September. It collects issues #1-4 of the breakout hit Top Cow series.
