Jesus Christ, Action Hero
It's a graphic novel with all the right elements: A pissed-off, cigar-smoking Jesus Christ, gay angels, evil Nazis, fecal incontinence, a fat, time-traveling, machine-gun-toting Ernest Hemingway as a sidekick, and an absentee father-God - who just happens to look like Marlon Brando playing Jor-EL.
Check out the graphic novel "Jesus Christ - In The Name Of The Gun". Fun, fun, fun.
I loves me the sweet, sweet intertubes. :) Kudos to Ethan Nicolle and Eric Peterson of Bad Karma Productions!

Woo! Thanks!
Hey Brent, and fellow Brent readers: Thanks for checking out the Jesus comic! Ethan and I are pleased to have you guys as a readership. New page posted today!
Eric
Hey, Eric, got time for a question or two?
Do you have a story-line already worked out, or do you kind of make it up as you go? Or is it a combination of the two?
Any idea how long this story will run?
I really enjoy the comic, so keep up the good work, guys! Do you read Freak Angels?

We have a general storyline
We have a general storyline worked out, and we're trying to make it more concrete before we get too far ahead of ourselves. But we've got this first episode (the one set in the Holocaust) completely written, and a lot of scenarios for future episodes. So I guess "a combination of the two."
We want to run the Jesus story as long as it makes sense to :) The "Hollow Cost" episodes are just the first little chapter of this bigger thing, so you'll get to see that in it's entirety soon.
I haven't read Freak Angels aside from a few odd pages here and there. Though I'm a Warren Ellis addict. Transmetropolitan, Authority/Stormwatch, and more sit right there next to my Spider Jerusalem statue in my office. I love his stuff.
www.brokenfrontier.com actually just did a great interview with Eef and I about the book. Here's a link:

If you like that, check out
If you like that, check out Battle Pope by Robert Kirkman. Jesus is a hippie, pot smoking side kick to a bad ass warrior pope.
When he's not leading Mass, he's out kicking ass!
Battle Pope has the best tag line: "When he's not leading Mass, he's out kicking ass!"
Let me also recommend Loaded Bible and Chronicles of Wormwood.
Nobody reads comics anymore, so nobody protests these sorts of things. Way to go America!

Thanks for the link, Brent.
Favorite scene: Jesus running up the arc of a soldier's piss stream to back-flip kick the soldier in the face.
Favorite line - Jesus (about his "fecal incontinence" when his blood resurrects someone): "They could bring back a number of lives with what they took, and if they do that I'll be dropping unleavened loaves till next Sunday."
