I can't even describe this.

Now, I am not a very religious man. But I'd actually read this.

That, is a fairly strange combination...I might read a page or two...the non-preachy ones, oh wait...

I don't know if this is a good thing. I think it will end up being a large source of humor when it comes out.

Jesus going Super-Christ and busting off the crucifix, then fighting Jewza in an epic battle to save the earth from heathens.

Edit: Jonah fighting a cyborg super devil whale.

Moses parting the red sea, with his giant Robo-Moses.

Godasaurus destroying Sodom & Gomorrah

I may be atheist, but I'd read what Senor Hugo described.
Its pretty much Dragon Bible Z.

You actually took his post seriously? :???:

If it IS like what Hugo suggested, the Church would never let it pass. It's more likely that it's just going to be the exact same stories, but with pretty anime art to go with.

It'll be the same as the normal bible.

Apart from the sequence where the disciples unite into Christion to fight the Roman gestalt, Romanicus.

My first thought was "No Effing Way".

Yeah, I'll probably end up buying it.

Now I want one about Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism.

I can't wait to see if Jesus gets in a nine page sword fight with Judas. And the Apocalypse would be cooler with Ninjas. Everything's cooler with ninjas.

One on Buddhism does actually exist.

It's Osamu Tezuka's "Buddha" series. Note, it's Tezuka's work so expect craziness.

On this though I defenetly will pick it up.

(Bear in mind that my late night delerium has caught up with me!)

Science shows that this will lead to a base of fan girls, science also shows that fan pairings will be quite disturbing.

Lets not forget that people will start cosplaying as the people. I expect a good number of people cosplaying as ani-jesus.

Bingo.

Yep..I expect to see some DBZ themed sequences in the story. Maybe even some FLCL with Jesus rocking out with a guitar somehow? o.o;

I'm not too religious anymore, but I can't help but be amused at some people's reactions to this. Seriously, how is making a manga about the Bible different than making a manga about any other story in history? Heaven forbid anyone ever does a Greek mythological, Egyptian pantheon, Romulus and Remus, King Arthur or Gilgamesh manga; then people can really get their panties in a bunch over such concepts.

That said, I guess no one has ever seen the anime shows of the Old Testament...

That could potentially create some problems because as far as I know, it is considered blasphemy to make any sort of depiction of "the prophet." I belive that's why mosque "art" is all based on caligraphy, as opposed to pictures of "people;" to prevent any form of idolatry.

Five bucks says it's better than the original.

An additional five that they'll have little chibi strips at the end of the whole book.

I would have preferred a traditional comic book adaptation, but then again, I just want my variant David Finch covers.

There is a Bible comic!
I saw it at my library once, it had them cool painted panels.
