Punk Rock Jesus Deluxe Edition
Punk Rock Jesus Deluxe Edition | Sean Murphy
6 posts | 5 read | 6 to read
A reality TV show starring a clone of Jesus Christ causes chaos across the U.S. of the near future in PUNK ROCK JESUS, a new graphic novel written and drawn by Sean Murphy, the acclaimed illustrator of JOE THE BARBARIAN and AMERICAN VAMPIRE. J2 causes both outrage and adulation. Religious zealots either love or hate the show, angry politicians worry about its influence on the nation, and members of the scientific community fear the implications of cloning a human being at all, let alone the Son of God. Thomas McKael is the clones's bodyguard and former IRA operative, who despite his turbulent past is hired to protect the new Jesus--a baby who captivates the world, but grows up to become an angry teenager. When falling ratings force the network to cut Jesus's mother from the series the young star runs away, renounces his religious heritage and forms a punk rock band. And what starts off as babysitting for Thomas becomes an epic battle, as Jesus goes to war against the corporate media complex that created him. This deluxe edition collects Punk Rock Jesus #1-6 and features over 100 pages of new bonus material.

I haven‘t read as much as I should lately, but I blame that on the release of Borderlands 3. I finally finished this one though. The story and art was amazing. The concept was amazing and really hit home with me and my feelings about religion. Definitely a must read for anyone that doesn‘t fall in line with organized religion.

My greatest epiphany was learning that it was alright to be different. I finally realized a couple of years ago that I will never quite fit in, and life is too short to keep trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. It‘s much more fun to explore being a better me.

It's been a long week. I can't brain today. This helped though. Sean Murphy has come a long way since he made this book - but it's still fun to go back and see his earlier stuff.

And yes, the story is as good as that synopsis makes it sound.
