Verily, my brain implodeth.

Somewhere, Charles Williams is peeing himself laughing.

[saskia139.livejournal.com]

Maybe we should have comics of Charles's books! That would be awesome.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

There was actually a comic where...I think Sub-Mariner and Human Torch met Prester John.

No way Liefeld did those images.

Hands. Feet. Visible. These details alone prove these weren't done by Mister I-Spit-On-Gray's-Anatomy.

JSM

Yeah, but the women look like Liefeld women. Tiny waits, balloon boobs.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Apparently he wrote it. Or did the layouts and one of his many ghosts did the full pencils.

That would explain the awful olde englishe abuse spoken by GREEKS.

"verily, thou hast bested Hercules!"

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

If they're Greek, it oughta be 'Heracles.'

Holy Body-Building Jesus!

Almost makes a Pagan-leaning Jewish agnostic want to convert and pull on the spandex.

[saskia139.livejournal.com]

The buffest Jesus I ever saw was a *large* crucifix in the chapel of a Roman Catholic seminary. Washboard abs, I swear. I would say it makes me wonder about those seminarians, except I don't have to wonder--I used to work for a Catholic bookstore and I know they're all gay.

Does the winner of this go on to a face-off with the Norse Gods in the next round?

[ramalama.livejournal.com]

Jesus would so kick Loki's ass.

[nitasee.livejournal.com]

Ah, but it's anybody's guess who would win the lightning challenge round with Odin!

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Anybody who could exploit his blind spot. Mercury, for instance.

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

Holy Christ!

Now that's what I call entertainment! :)

[crantz.livejournal.com]

I feel enriched for having seen that.

[viedma.livejournal.com]

That's why I haven't heard from Mel Gibson lately-- he's been too busy spanking himself to this!

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

*chokes*

*dies*

[viedma.livejournal.com]

Eek! Don't cut off oxygen to your brain! He's into that sorta stuff, too, and I don't wanna be responsible for what might happen if you pass out...

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

It's important that you not talk to me any more. *cries*

[claudiall.livejournal.com]

That--I---the
...what?

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[tikistitch.livejournal.com]

At last whe know what's really on George Bush's iPod.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

I think he had it made into a screensaver for his laptop. Or as he calls it, "That Jesus cartoon show I like."

[amanda-now.livejournal.com]

I may use this phrase a lot, but I literally just sat bolt upright at my desk here at the office and said "Oh my god, what the fuck?"

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

*nodsnods*

[kosher-jenny.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid to click. Very, very afraid.







*clicks*

[theodicy.livejournal.com]

It's like Clash of the Titans in comic book form!

I just wet myself.

[tikistitch.livejournal.com]

The multifaceted Mr. Tikistitch was just reading your blog, and noticed an apparent theological contradiction, given that the artiste believes in Jesus 'n stuff: doesn't the comic implicitly acknowledge that the Greek gods *exist*?

And if so, is it possible that Rocket Scientist Liefeld came to the same realization, but only after completing the last panel, and thus, the unfinished project? "Oops, duuuuurrrrr...."

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. But that's assuming that the comic is proselytizing. Just 'cause a comic has Jesus in it doesn't mean it's a Chick tract.
