<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Created by Mark Russell and Richard Pace."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In this acclaimed, controversial graphic novel, God commands Earth's mightiest super-hero, Sunstar, to accept Jesus as his roommate and teach him how to use power more forcefully. Jesus, shocked at the way humans have twisted his message over two millennia, vows to straighten them out.</b> <p/>The book everyone's talking about, by award-winning writer Mark Russell (Snagglepuss, The Flintstones) and artist Richard Pace (Pitt, New Warriors)! God commands Earth's mightiest super-hero, Sunstar, to accept Jesus as his roommate and teach him how to use power more forcefully. Jesus, shocked at the way humans have twisted his message over two millennia, vows to straighten them out.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Headlines aside, if you read the book, what you actually find is not a takedown of religion, but, as Russell describes it, an attempt to spread the Gospel.-- "The New York Post"<br><br>No one captures the lyrical disconnect between real personalities in fantasy bodies like Mark Russell. SECOND COMING is beautifully drawn and hilariously blunt. It's ribald, cranky, and warm at the same time, and it might be my new favorite thing.--Gail Simone<br><br>Powerful.-- "Entertainment Weekly"<br><br>While the concept itself is pretty funny, writer Mark Russell takes a sort of Terry Pratchett-esque approach to it, immersing us fully in both Heaven and 'The City' through wickedly funny character interactions...hilarious for sure.-- "Newsarama"<br>
