Delving into the worlds of religion, reality TV and science, this week we have the release of Sean Murphy's mini-series!...
Murphy, a big FROG BROS favourite is probably best known for his art work on the amazing JOE THE BARBARIAN and wonderful AMERICAN VAMPIRE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST but this creator own mini might be about to change all that...
PUNK ROCK JESUS #1 (OF 6)... Set in the not too distant US future tells the story of an angry young man...
Who just happens to be the star of the latest reality TV hit J2...
Oh and also a clone of Jesus Christ...
With his 'mum' being selected through an American Idol style process and adulation and outrage being flown all over the place what chance does this kid have?...
Hopefully this book has a better chance, VERTIGO, who are publishing it, certainly are taking a bit of a chance, but then they are the guys and gals who gave us PREACHER, and that didn't work out too badly did it? And really this is just the kind of book VERTIGO should be printing...
Murphy too is putting himself out there with this one, the guy freely admits he's an artist first and foremost so to tackle a story like this, with so many big and devisive threads... Let's hope he pulls it off, if not heh, we're still going to have one of the best looking books from the FROG shelves...
