The Pseudo-Manga Bible

Dogberry Patch points out a new comic book version of the bible–I almost wrote “Holy Scripture” but that would be sacreligious, if not blasphemous, to characterize this book as an actual Bible–which attempts to present the stories in Manga illustrations. Not only does the artwork fail to get very Manga-like, “The narrative reads like the scriptwriter is strip-mining scripture. He bulldozes over details and nuances in the Biblical text to move the plot along.”

I guess I’m not really surprised that the Archbishop of Canterbury approves of it.
