Oh dear.

And now I bring to you something that would make a fabulous April Fool's joke, except that it's not a joke.

They're making a Bible graphic novel. My reaction to this was: "Oh... oh. Oh dear."

Manga!Jesus is kind of hot, though. You know, for a biblical cartoon character.

Actually, you know who I just realized he looks like? He looks like a benevolent version of the cartoon Captain Jack Sparrow they put on lunch boxes. But he kind of looks like he has an attitude. ...I kind of really want to read this now.

Oh, Jesus Christ, (pun intended)
what has the world come to 0.0

Considering the vast amount of things that have a manga form (like instruction manuals, etc) it was really only a matter of time.

You know you want to read it. Besides, it's in color!
