In the near future, the United States is ruled by bloodsucking vampire hordes. Only one man can end their reign of terror: JESUS H. CHRIST. A tale of war, love, religion and severed heads, the controversial LOADED BIBLE answers an age-old question: "What Would Jesus Do?" Answer: He'd kick vampire ass.

hm, just hit me: it is TESTAMENT's Bizarro double.

Reminds me of a certain Canadian movie.

It looks so horrible it might actually be funny.

Its like a train wreck. I want to look away and read something good, but my eyes keep being dragged back to the image of Jesus decapitating a vampire with a bastard sword in each hand.

I know it's a little off-topic to be levelling such criticism, but I've always thought consistent use of "it's" as a possessive is indication that you are a moron. Snobbery, sure, but it's my honest gut feeling.

I'd pay a dollar for this, though. An AUSTRALIAN dollar, mind.

I'm 100% agreed with you, matsya. Any inclination I may have had to give this trainwreck the benefit of the doubt evporated as soon as I say that "it's"—not once, but twice.

Imbeciles.

You got it. I've revised my opinion. I'll pay a NEW ZEALAND dollar for this little guy. Can't say fairer.

To best approximate the value-to-dross ratio of the book itself, I would send directly to the writer one shiny US silver dollar contained within an eight-pound block of compacted human feces.

Strong words from Jack Fear.

I agree, though. The only good thing that's come out of this was my emailing that big full page picture of Jesus kicking vampire ass to a guy I play with in a Vampire: The Requiem game. And telling him that this was, from now on, how I'd always envision his character.

I will always now think of the Father General standing around with two swords...and no shirt.

That Jesus guy sure has got a big head. Either that or a tiny body.

What? Jesus with a goatie, yelding a longsword in a post-apocalypitc world? It's like my most secret wetdream came true. And that "I know you've sinned, sinner" look on his face... wow!!!

Isn't Bush a vampire himself???

Joking aside, I'm not even sure if that comic is on the "neocon" or the "leftist liberal" side (I'm betting on the latter, but who knows...). Anyway, it got me curious. And I dig the art. I'd pay a dollar to know what happens.

there's a Jack Davis vibe in the art there.
