Punk Rock Jesus

Product Information

Murphy started working professionally before graduating, on titles such Star Wars and Noble Causes, before moving onto various projects for Dark Horse Comics. [1] Driven to Suicide: Gwen has a dream that she jumps off the balcony of her room at the psychiatric hospital after escaping J2, but is saved by what she believes is an angel. This leads to her renewed efforts to rescue Chris from J2.

Murphy's comic book work includes the miniseries Batman/Scarecrow: Year One with writer Bruce Jones for DC Comics and the graphic novel Off Road for Oni Press. OK? Now imagine what could possibly go wrong with a teenaged girl giving birth on TV...Teen Mom? Yup. Times a billion. Took a Level in Jerkass: The need to debate and fight against a religious norm is debatable. Calling your perpetually-depressed mother who died trying to save you a media whore is not. In my opinion, the most worthwhile thing you can ever do in comics is write and draw your own book. While it might not pay as much as a company book (at least not right away), there's nothing more satisfying than sitting down at a show where other artists are drawing characters they don't own, while everyone in your line wants drawings of characters you created from scratch. And being an artist/writer, you get more respect, a stronger connection to your readers and a lot more paid invites to far away conventions.A multinational entertainment company starts a project called J2, which creates a clone from Jesus Christ's DNA, and make a 24 hour live reality show on clones daily life from birth. Half of the world considers it as the second coming of christ, and other half names him as the Antichrist and declares war against him, and the show TRP keeps getting higher and higher. The story unfolds with different characters around the project, and each of them has different reasons to be in this story. Don't get me wrong -- I've never been more satisfied with anything else I've ever done. But it's also taught me that being a writer/penciller/inker combo isn't for everyone. In 2005 he published his first original graphic novel, Off Road, which went on to win an American Library Association Award for young adults. [1]

Usually of a group of religious zealots hoarding guns don't have to wait too long before they meet their maker... 'round these here parts.

Someone to Remember Him By: After Cola is killed during the NAC raid on J2, Dr. Epstein clones a new bear cub using Cola's DNA, naming the new one "Coke" as a tribute. Even more so than box office champions like Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man, the Jesus Christ of pop culture is arguably one of the most exposed character in the history of humans telling each other stories. From the New Testament to Jesus Christ Superstar, to various cameos on South Park, to The Passion of the Christ, to Loaded Bible: Jesus vs. Vampires, and all the iterations in between, The Son of God has largely tread the same ground with little innovation devoted to his continued narratives.

And then, everything starts to fall apart, until the moment where Chris became what you see in the cover of the book. Evil Parents Want Good Kids: Thomas' father agreed to turn informant against the IRA because he didn't want his son to get involved in the conflict. Unfortunately, his brother happened to be a member of the IRA, and killed him before he could reveal anything, then ended up recruiting Thomas into the IRA anyway, making his father's sacrifice meaningless.Batman: Beyond the White Knight (script and art, with Dave Stewart, sequel to Batman: White Knight and Batman: Curse of the White Knight, eight-issue limited series, DC Comics, March 2022 - February 2023) J2 causes both outrage and adulation. Religious zealots either love or hate the show, angry politicians worry about its influence on the nation, and members of the scientific community fear the implications of cloning a human being at all, let alone the Son of God. A few times I asked myself, “would this be as interesting if the clone wasn’t Jesus?” If you took away the Christ element, you would have a story of a boy and his mother broken by the manipulation of media and religion. I think we’d have a story with potential insight into our media-hungry world. The story never proves that Chris is a clone of Jesus. The scientist behind the cloning even has her doubts; she never saw them extracting the DNA from the shroud. The story is pretty interesting. There’s no denying it’s unique. I also think it’s interesting as sure, it is sacrilegious science fiction but it’s also oddly fitting. As this story points out, Jesus was against the government and religions of his time so in a more modern setting it makes sense to make him punk. Not to mention, all the stuff about the show and controversy before he becomes punk is fairly interesting. Plea of Personal Necessity: Slate begs for Thomas to spare him right before he gets thrown under the tires of an oncoming semi.
