Punk Rock Jesus #1 - #6 is one of the best non-superhero comics I've ever read. It offers very thrilling and exciting content with a hefty dose of cultural commentary. Read this and see how the clone of Jesus responds to contemporary American culture.Up the punx!

Este primer Issue no es una buena presentación de la historia y el arte no me gustó mucho, pero creo que tiene mucho potencial. Aunque no me gusto mucho, si me deja intrigada lo suficiente para leer el Volumen completo.

Good Stuff.

Más incorrecta que sorprendente, la segunda venida de Cristo según Sean Murphy conjuga elementos que - lejos del cinismo - resultan temiblemente verosímiles en las modernas construcciones sociales. El control corporativo, el fanatismo religioso, la manipulación política y la omnipresencia mediática son parte de una violenta realidad que poco espacio dejan a la fantasía y a la que solo parece faltar la venida de un mesías a la medida.

There was a lot going on in this book. At first glance the premise seemed ridiculous, but as I continued reading, I realized that it wasn't such a farfetched idea that someone would try to clone Jesus if it could be done, especially if it could be done for profit. It also wasn't such a stretch to believe how the world -- particularly the media -- would treat such a concept. I read the eBook to be released April 2013, which includes all six of the prior released titles in the series in one book.

Nueva serie de “Vertigo” y tras las ultimas decepciones y falta de sintonía que he tenido con el sello en cuestión, por fin doy con un cómic que me gusta, me llama la atención y me parece recomendable como para darle una entrada. Para empezar, es en blanco y negro, lo cual siempre llama la atención y no es algo a lo que yo este muy acostumbrado al no ser muy fan del manga. Pero tampoco pongo objeciones a priori, después de leer 100 números de Walking Dead.“Punk Rock Jesus” nos presenta a un niño...

The art and story are absolutely brilliant. This is one of the best books I'm reading currently. Also the fact that this uses real paper is awesome.

this book is one of those books that could be overlooked because of its cover. some ppl are turned off by religious subjects, and i can assure you of this, because i'm one of those ppl. i received this from one of my friends, and i thought i was going to be reading this novel on my knees with a rosary in hand. However, to my surprise, this book has extreme details on the characters and a great background story for most of them. this novel could easily be broken down into more and more series. th...

There are lot of ideas explored in this book. Atheism, religion, consumerism, obsession with reality TV and in general apathy towards everything that can be opined about. Though the ideas are serious, the execution isn't. The graphic novel falls short of being great by its virtue of not making any logical argument against it.

Punk Rock Jesus by Sean Murphy is such a great read! I highly highly rec.It’s a 6-issue comics miniseries. A corporation finds a way to clone Jesus Christ from DNA found on the shroud and raises him in front of the eyes of the world via a reality TV show. Like The Truman Show meets sci-fi meets religious crazies, all in one ball of insane media exploitation. The story is well-told and the art, though in black and white, suits the story perfectly.In a “Best of 2012" review on Comics Alliance, PRJ...

While the concept of a reality show built around a clone of Jesus is clever, the development of that story line fails to live up to that promise. The commentary on organized religion and media culture is juvenile. Very attractive drawings, but that was not enough to save this graphic novel for this reader.

An interesting premise, but really is just a born again atheist who got disillusioned somehow and now wants to piss on his former religion and have us cheer him for it. I understand it may not have worked out and this book was a way to get those feelings and frustrations out. But religion means a lot of things to a lot of people and is not all bad. But atheists like mr Mryphy like to characterize all believers with the same condescending brush; that they are all empty headed mental midgets, and

Didn't think this would be one I would enjoy but was surprised how good it was. The artwork was fab and the story was brilliant and who knows could happen with the way t.v and science are going

Believe it or not this might actually be the first comic i read this year and we are three months in but i feel i ll get back on track with my reading i am not sure how good this will turn out to be but as a start its pretty goodand if i was that woman on the last page i would have ran over that ruthless guy and into the fucking river.

The near future--that handy place to set stories--finds reality TV as popular as ever and using DNA from the historical Jesus to impregnate a virgin seems like the perfect fodder for the format. The stunning blacvk and white artwork is sharp, angular, and chaotic at the same time. This isn't going as I imagined but I am intrigued to find out where it ends up.

NOTA: 5,0O problema de uma mini-série abrir com uma edição tão incrível como essa é que agora a expectativa vai ficar altíssima pro restante.

Volver a leer el inicio de Punk Rock Jesus me dejó un muy buen saber de boca, me sigue encantando y lo sigo recomendando

I loved the characters of Thomas and Chris (Punk Rock Jesus). But there wasn't a single redeeming female character and the book is needlessly violent in the way that many graphic novels are. Chris and Thomas get five stars, but I can't justify giving the book more than three stars.

I typically don't review or rate until I've read more of the story. This is...an odd one so far. I'm interested to see where it goes.

Alright. Cool premise, not-so-cool execution. Some scientists take Jesus' DNA from the Shroud of Turin and clone Jesus. The life of Jesus is filmed as a reality television. He learns to dislike people, runs away and becomes a punk. Full of violence, intrigue, and deep controversial issues, this graphic novel asks a few interesting questions, but just seems to end with a sort of celebration for atheism (or at least anti-religiousness).
