It was not until 1999 that Sister Shannon gained her own series. The miniseries "Areala: Angel of War" which detailed the original Areala and "Warrior Nun Areala: Resurrection" led up to it. Running from 1999 to 2001, it was simply titled "Warrior Nun Areala" Vol. 3. It concerned an ongoing threat by Areala's most persistent foe, Helga, as she tried to destroy the Vatican itself. In a battle that put to the test, the promise that the gates of Hell would not prevail. Though it climaxed seemingly with the death of Sister Shannon, she later returned and appeared in another ongoing series, "Warrior Nun Areala" Vol. 4 though this was written mostly by Craig Babiar.
