EDITOR'S NOTE: Here's a book I can highly recommend, and one that even religious organizations can embrace and even use as a teaching tool. It's presented in a humorous but respectful manner, something that is a bit of a refreshing approach these days.

THE BOOK EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT

God Commands Earth’s Mightiest Superhero to Accept Jesus... As His Roommate

SECOND COMING, the controversial, satirical comic book series in which Jesus Christ resumes His Holy Mission, will be published by AHOY Comics this March.

In the series created by New York Times bestselling writer Mark Russell and acclaimed artist Richard Pace, God commands Earth’s mightiest superhero, Sunstar, to accept Jesus Christ as his roommate and teach him how to use His power His power in a... more powerful way.

Jesus, shocked at the way humans have twisted his message over two millennia, vows to straighten it out.

Mark Russell is the author of two books about the Bible, God Is Disappointed in You and Apocrypha Now. He is also the Eisner-nominated comic book writer behind such titles as THE FLINTSTONES, EXIT STAGE LEFT: THE SNAGGLEPUS CHRONICLES, RED SONJA, and more.

Artist and art teacher Richard Pace has applied his talents to numerous industries including games and television, but comics remains his greatest love. Hailing from Canada, Richard has contributed to such auspicious DC projects as Mike Mignola's BATMAN: THE DOOM THAT CAME TO GOTHAM and TRANSMETROPOLITAN: ALL OVER THE WORLD with Warren Ellis. Most recently, Richard provided memorably haunting covers for Vertigo's IMAGINARY FIENDS.

AHOY Comics launched last fall with four acclaimed comic book magazine titles featuring full length comic book stories, poetry, prose fiction, and cartoons from more than seventy artists and writers. The independent, Syracuse-based company is the brainchild of Publisher Hart Seely, an award-winning reporter whose humor and satire has appeared in The New York Times and on National Public Radio.

“The goal of AHOY Comics is not just to publish the greatest comic book magazines in the world, but the greatest funny books you can find,” said Seely. “And the SECOND COMING series sits perfectly next to the superhero parody THE WRONG EARTH, the religious satire HIGH HEAVEN, the sci fi spoof CAPTAIN GINGER, and the over-the-topic literary antics of our anthology series EDGAR ALLAN POE’S SNIFTER OF TERROR.”
