Spiffy keen comic. However, I disliked the physical violence, it kinda took away from the whole 'battle of wills' vibe.
I understand what you mean. But look at it like this: it is a mix of the natural and spiritual. The art is realistic. But it has bold lines that go against the realism, sort of like stained glass window art. To me this gives the art a surreal feel. The things you see in the comic are symbolic: Jesus hitting the girl in the head with a staff - symbolic; Satan pissing on the altar - symbolic, etc. Each of these things communicate an idea. For example, when Jesus hits satan with the staff: the staff represents the God's authority, as well as His past promises to humanity (the word of God, so to speak); satan wants God to dishonor this. But God will not. He hits satan over the head with this - God crushes Satan's head. Symbolism. Such things are throughout the comic. Maybe I should provide some commentary at the end about these things... but I am afraid people would be bored with it... just like many may get bored with this long post - ha!
And I agree with you MindChamber, I should have made the nose of Jesus bigger. I also think that Jesus may HAVE a bigger nose. Yes, he HAS - the dude is not dead. At least that is the view of those of us that follow the faith.
TailsIsUseless, I checked out your raptorJesus. Funny stuff.
