Warren Ellis' Transmetropolitan

[FSogol]

6. Liked "Transmetropolitian"? Try "Punk Rock Jesus."

From Boing Boing's review:

"Sean Murphy's Punk Rock Jesus is a rockin' comic about the Second Coming. It opens with a psychotically ruthless show-runner arranging to clone Jesus from DNA salvaged from the Shroud of Turin, implanting a foetus in the womb of a teenaged virgin, all for a reality TV show that starts with auditions for the part of Christ's mother. Gwen, the desperate teen who gets the part, is only one of the many memorable characters who make up the resulting set piece: there's Dr Sarah Epstein, a brilliant geneticist who's been promised funding for a carbon-fixing superalgae if she helps create the clonal Christ; there's Thomas McKael, an IRA soldier turned supergrass turned super-security director, and several others who come to prominence as the story unfolds (including Cola, a genetically engineered tame polar bear).

PS. Loved the Jamie Hernandez cover for Transmetropolitian #32.



You have read all of Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez's work, right?
