Jesus Finally Kicks Some Ass
An old foe just found me on myspace, he wanted to let me know that he’s different now. He’s kicking ass, taking names and chewing bubble gum. He’s not out of bubble gum yet, but he chews it sparingly in between his other pursuits.
My friend’s name is Jesus and I’m certain most of you haven’t caught up with him lately.
Eric Peterson and Ethan Nicolle have been busy this year writing and drawing, in almost equal and relative measures, a comic which quickly gained my attention. It’s called Jesus Christ: In The Name Of The Gun. If you have not come across it yet, which I feel not enough people have, then you need to click this link now, Kick Ass Jesus Comic! This link starts you on the cover and you can keep clicking forward to the latest page, number 61, accurate as of writing.
Reasons to follow the exploits of Jesus this time:
1` This isn’t some lame version written by disciples and sychphants pushing their own agendas. This is following the man himself in his own words, as the captions clearly show
2` He’s doing what all the other deities are too pussy to do, he’s travelling back and taking on The Third Reich
3` His sidekick is none other than Ernest Hemingway, travelling through time on a hunting safari of the worst mass murderers of history, just as you all know he actually did, that whole home dentistry with the shot gun was a political cover up, even entry level consipiracy nuts know that…
4` There’s super-soldier nazi mutant soldiers…stick with it, you’ll get to them
5` Ethan Nicolle’s art reminds me strongly of the pages I’ve been paying hard bucks most months for over in Resurrection from Oni, but possibly better…
6` Jesus hates his dad, a lot, it’s awesome
7` The opening page, as shown above, really rocks the shit, I was sold on this first page alone
8` The taste is appalling, many bad jokes and quality biblical references
9` Did I mention Hemingway was his time travelling partner?
10` There’s all the wicked action lines you’d expect from the Son of Man rocking out against the dreaded Nazi party…blood of the lamb, motherfucker
Yeah, there’s a few misses for all the hits, I don’t think the fecal incontinence will stand the test of time, but for that there is also Hemingway damning Einstein for his tank-proof suit. It’s all very wicked!
Check the link, bask in the awesomeness and thank me later!
