Graphic Novel
A reality TV show starring a clone of Jesus Christ causes
chaos across the U.S. of the near future in PUNK ROCK JESUS,
a new graphic novel written and drawn by Sean Murphy, the
acclaimed illustrator of JOE THE BARBARIAN and AMERICAN VAMPIRE. 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. Thomas McKael is the clones's bodyguard and former IRA
operative, who despite his turbulent past is hired to
protect the new Jesus—a baby who captivates the world, but
grows up to become an angry teenager. When falling ratings force the network to cut Jesus's mother
from the series the young star runs away, renounces his
religious heritage and forms a punk rock band. And what
starts off as babysitting for Thomas becomes an epic battle,
as Jesus goes to war against the corporate media complex
that created him.
