Reviews
"[A] reverent portrayal of Jesus, his doubts and his fears. There's a somber core under the garish, grindhouse colors-the highlight of the book comes not in an action scene or some display of almighty vengeance. Instead, the best, most meaningful moment is one in which we see the cost of Jesus' miracles as a toll upon his physical form. It's a profound notion, one that hit me with more meaning than I received from the last time I stepped inside a church."--WMQ Comics
"Casey and Marra are MacGregor and Gulacy for the '10s."--Tom Scioli, Go-Bots
"JESUSFREAK answers the eternal question of what would happen if Christ came to save the world with kung fu."--Mark Russell, God Is Disappointed in You
"Jesus Christ meets Bruce Lee-part Jack T. Chick, part Masters of Kung Fu, all hell-raising fury! Joe Casey and Ben Marra turn the New Testament into a blood-soaked, vengeance-driven graphic novel epic masterpiece using the vernacular of 1970s comic books and b-movies. Comic book fans and God-fearing Christians rejoice - your prayers have been answered!"--Jim Rugg, Street Angel
"Get ready for an entirely different take on history's ultimate origin story."--SYFY Wire
"This Jesus is a far cry from the one featured in the New Testament. He's a Master of Kung Fu for starters and isn't averse to decapitating his enemies should the situation call for it."--Irish Post
