I got a few teaser pages of this comic book in digital format a while back and I was very impressed. I love the artwork.  I think it’s very well done.  The story is good albeit not really my type of comic book.  I do like the violence in this issue.  I still prefer standard paper comics but this was a good looking issue to do digitally because of the artwork.
 
However, the way God talks in this issue makes for an extremely long-winded and practically annoying character.  It seems somewhat fitting as God is supposed to be all-knowing and in this comic He’s definitely a know-it-all.  It kinda gets under your skin which makes one totally understand why Jesus has decided to ignore his father’s warnings and come to Earth to do things HIS way.
 
Still, the idea of Jesus being resurrected to literally beat sense and redemption into people is an entertaining one.  The idea makes me smile.  Now, I don’t usually go for anything religion based.  It’s just not my thing.  But, the violence and blood in this issue made up for the religious story base.
 
I DID find this comic entertaining and worth the read.  Especially since it’s something original and new.  It’s nice to see something unusual and unique being done.
