  • A reality TV show starring a clone of Jesus Christ causes chaos across the
    U.S. of the near future in Punk Rock Jesus, a new graphic novel written
    and drawn by Sean Murphy, the acclaimed illustrator of Joe the Barbarian
    and American Vampire.
  • J2 causes both outrage and adulation. Religious zealots either love or hate
    the show, angry politicians worry about its influence on the nation, and members
    of the scientific community fear the implications of cloning a human being at
    all, let alone the Son of God. Thomas McKael is the clones's bodyguard and
    former IRA operative, who, despite his turbulent past, is hired to protect the
    new Jesus — a baby who captivates the world, but grows up to become an
    angry teenager. When falling ratings force the network to cut Jesus's mother
    from the series, the young star runs away, renounces his religious heritage, and
    forms a punk rock band. And what starts off as babysitting for Thomas becomes an
    epic battle, as Jesus goes to war against the corporate media complex that
    created him.
  • This deluxe edition collects Punk Rock Jesus #1-6 and features over
    100-pages of new bonus material.
