Book Of Matthew

Okay, finally got this working. I’m kinda bored with politics, and what causes more arguments than RELIGION? :)

    Is there a link to the comic itself – or something that shows the content? The cover page is a little “generic” to comment on.

    You don’t have to comment, you know. lol. There will be another page tomorrow. It’s just going to be the Bible with (hopefully) pretty pictures.

    I don’t get it. It is already a book. It seems like a waste to just draw pictures of it. Why not go back to drawing Superman or something?

    Fairly Obvious: I can’t argue with the book without first knowing how it presents it’s subject.

    The graphic novel media is an excellent one to relate topics such as religion in my humble opinion. It all depends on how the topic is approach and the interplay between the graphic portion and the text.

    I’m currently reading “Buddha: Deer Park” By Osamu Tezuka (the creator of AstroBoy). It’s book 5 in a series retelling the story of Buddha (some fictionalizing to be sure). Tezuka found a humourous, honest and sublime way of telling his story that portays the subject matter in a manner that is clearly purposeful, but never preachy.

    “Barefoot Gen” by Keiji Nakazawa, is another masterpiece in the Graphic novel Genre.

    These titles and others are miles ahead of most Superman and X-men comics Trucker Tom.

    I would consider the “Comic Book” format the pupal stage of the graphic novel. They differ not only in length, but also in depth. It’s like the difference between a 1/2hr episode of a TV show and full length movie. The Current trend of Comic book compilation into a graphic novel is a close approximation of what a graphic novel can be.

    The cover looks very promising. I wish you the best in this endevour Hapajap. I look forward to enjoying it.

    But you said Superman was your favorite superhero :(

    He might have been at one point, but honestly, I’m kinda hard pressed to think of a super hero I’d consider my ‘favorite’ right now. They all kinda suck. I stopped reading comic books because there was nothing hooking me to any of them.
