Question/Help--Christianity Displayed in Comics/Graphic Novels

[Ijiwaru Sensei]

I'm looking for comics/graphic novels that use Christianity as a major element within their stories, whether positively or not.

 

Works like Micah Harris and Michael Gaydos's Heaven's War, Douglas Rushkoff's Testament, Craig Thompson's Blankets, and Tim Seeley's Loaded Bible.

 

If anybody's read anything that's in the ballpark of what's described above, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

 

Thanks.

Presuming the entire Spire line is not applicable?

X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills

No, it all counts--Spire, Jack Chick's comic books, whatever.

 

Thanks.

Good one.

X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills

 

I read that one as a kid. One of the villains was a televangelist, wasn't he?

I forget what the comic is, but there's that crazy Liefeld Jesus thing

Yes, but I've only read the first one.

Preacher is very religious-centric - it definitely deserves to be on the list :thumbsup:

Missed that one completely. Does anyone know the title?

My guess is it has the word "Youngblood" somewhere in the title, and somehow connects Jesus Christ as the founding member of the team.

Not sure if this is helpful - search for "Jesus" on GCD:

How about Tony Isabella's Ghost Rider work?

Wikipedia

 

specifically "the Friend":

Probably the most direct reference in "mainstream" comics that I am aware of.

Dunno if "The Sacred and the Profane" would count or not...
