Punk Rock Jesus

Product Information

Zorro: Man of the Dead #1-4 (script and art, with Matt Hollingsworth, Massive Publishing, January 2024 - April 2024) And then, everything starts to fall apart, until the moment where Chris became what you see in the cover of the book.

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. The characters are pretty interesting. Chris is certainly interesting for many reasons but the side characters grabbed my attention throughout too. Great review, JP. I think you came to this book in an open-handed fashion and you have a very clear view of it. 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.

GRAPHIC NOVEL GUIDE

I've agreed to collaborate with another big writer in summer 2014 that I'm also excited about. Afterward, I'm considering either moving into European comics or perhaps taking a break and getting into video games and concept art for a while. I'm also considering writing scripts for other artists, but we'll see. It's nice that despite being an acclaimed artist, he has his own stories to tell. Hope to read more from him in the future. It's interesting you say artists need to see this "as a business and not as a hobby for celebrity artists." I know that you were an apprentice to an artist before attending art school. Do you think that helped shape your thinking and eliminated any adolescent notion that some of us may have had about art?

A reality tv show based around a clone of Jesus? Whoa! Now that sounds like a really cool premise. There were a lot of delicious slimy worms that could have crawled out of that newly opened can! The story isn't perfect and it has religious tones that I'd rather do without, but this was Murphy's first attempt at his own creator-owned work and his editor managed bring out the best he could do at that time. The art, without a doubt, is superb. This book, more than his past work, ensconced Murphy into the reader's consciousness that this guy is at the top of his art game. Social commentary on the Christian Fundamentalism of Middle America, the addiction to reality TV, the name of profit, the nature of belief versus science, sin and redemption, family, manipulation, mega-corporations, Mass Media over-consumption, and freedom.Child Soldiers: Thomas joins the IRA when he's 6. Even before this he knew how to remove the clip from a pistol and use a shotgun. This is what prompted his father to turn informant. The book means a lot to me, so I'm working extra hard on the art. Maybe part of me is afraid that people will think that the writing is no good, and by increasing the level of art I'm hoping to convince them I'm a better writer than I really am. The ending was unbelievably anti-climactic. I'm not going to spoil it for you, but prepare yourself for a turd. It felt like Murphy had about 10 minutes left to wrap the whole thing up and just rushed through the motions. Artist draws on Portland for scenes in new Batman comic series".

Would I recommend this to anyone? No. I don’t really regret reading it because it was mildly entertaining and only took me a day. And I gave it an “it was okay” 2 star rating, so really it all just feels like a mild disappointment.

Customer reviews

All of the Christians are one-dimensional caricatures. To even say they’re characters is giving Sean Murphy way more credit than he deserves. Murphy is simply a terrible writer - he doesn’t understand nuance or subtlety, so his characters, all of them, are pathetic creations that are totally unconvincing. All Christians are apparently super-crazy, gun-bearing, sign-toting loonies, and atheists are all intelligent, bar none. Like I said I’m not a Christian but I thought this was such a broad and unbelievably dumb swipe that I felt bad for any Christians reading this tripe. 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. Murphy lives in Portland, Maine with his wife Katana Collins, having moved there from Brooklyn in 2016. [12] [13] Murphy was raised a Catholic, but is now an atheist.
