Now here's a surprise. Honestly.
When I first saw the comic book, I expected some parody on Jesus going Buffy and all that and giving me some smiles. But after the first pages I realized that someone's trying to sell us an actual story with a good plot and good art.
You know all the Jihad and Wars in the name of Christ and all that going on these days? Hard to miss it, eh? Well, the crap finally hit the fan and the Christians decided to cleanse the earth by chucking nukes at pretty much everyone. So people weren't a big issue anymore and New Vatican City was built. But peace was fragile, because the Vampires, lurking in the shadows of mankind for aeons, finally decided that it was their turn to rule. So New Vatican city's under attack quite often. And people on the inside are getting desperate, they need someone to lead them, to tell them what to do, to give them hope. Luckily, Jesus reappeared around them and led the forces into battle against the vampires and brought home victory after victory.
All was fine, until the Archangels (soldiers) of New Vatican City captured a pureblood vampire who knows a lot more than anyone would expect, she even knows Jesus's secret. Also, Jesus kills a human woman in self defense which tosses him into a crisis of faith...
Okay, so Jesus fights vapires with a sword and kicks a tremendous amout of ass. The whole issue is very well written and the art's really good too. So if you're looking for an entertaining comic book with a big twist, then pick up this comic, published by Image.

If you've read this book or have questions or additions to the controversy (which obviously had to appear sooner or later), feel free to post them here. Where I can, I'll be happy to help out and participate in a debate everyone can enjoy, if necessary.
