Judas
by Jeff Loveness
A very interesting graphic novel for someone who doesn't really believe in religion anymore.
So Judas is about what happens after Judas is sent to hell after he hangs himself. He's traveling the land of the underworld when Satan himself decides to have a little chit-chat. Trying to convince Judas that Jesus knew the betrayal would happen and that he was used for the story to be made. Judas listens, and like any person, feels betrayed. The twist is Jesus is sent to hell himself, and it brings some very interesting themes and thoughts.
Good: I really loved the art here. It was both haunting and beautiful. The twist was implemented really well. I like the themes spoken here, and even if you don't have a religion, you can appreciate what it's going for. The ending is both uplifting and still gives a sense of sadness.
Bad: Might be a tad confusing if you weren't raised with religion or know anything about Jesus since it's heavy in the lore.
Overall, a very nice surprise. Jeff Loveness is one of my favorite writers in comics who doesn't really write much. While this didn't blow me away it was really well created. A 4 out of 5.
