Manga Action Jeebus



It was inevitable.

Not content with Jeebus the Barbarian, we have Jeebus the "samurai stranger who’s come to town, in silhouette".

... In a blurb for the Manga Bible, which is published by Doubleday, the archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. Rowan Williams, is quoted as saying, “It will convey the shock and freshness of the Bible in a unique way.”

No doubt. In the Manga Bible, whose heroes look and sound like skateboarders in Bedouin gear, Noah gets tripped up counting the animals in the Ark: “That’s 11,344 animals? Arggh! I’ve lost count again. I’m going to have to start from scratch!”

Abraham rides a horse out of an explosion to save Lot. Og, king of Bashan, looms like an early Darth Vader. The Sermon on the Mount did not make the book, though, because there was not enough action to it...


And thus not the Beautitudes, of course. The TheoCons consider all that mercy, peace, and kindness stuff off message, anyway.

How about Jeebus as the Man with No Name .

We already have Jeebus for A Few Dollars More .

Next up: Jeebus waswill be a Klingon.
