The year is 26 C.E. A young Nazarean carpenter is having some trouble adjusting to the violent world around him -- and finding his place within it. He knows he's different... he just doesn't know why. Not yet, anyway. A bloody, two-fisted tale of historical heroic fiction brought to you by JOE CASEY (SEX, ANNUAL, MCMLXXV) and BENJAMIN MARRA (Night Business, Terror Assaulter O.M.W.A.T.).

“[A] reverent portrayal of Jesus, his doubts and his fears. There’s a somber core under the garish, grindhouse colors—the highlight of the book comes not in an action scene or some display of almighty vengeance. Instead, the best, most meaningful moment is one in which we see the cost of Jesus’ miracles as a toll upon his physical form. It’s a profound notion, one that hit me with more meaning than I received from the last time I stepped inside a church.”--WMQ Comics

"Wild and wooly and somehow still holy, too. What a blast." --Victor LaValle, The Ballad of Black Tom

"The most unexpected book of the year - a Jodorowsky-like story of Jesus done in the style of Moench & Gulacy's Shang-Chi. Mad enough to start a cult of its own."--Warren Ellis

“Highly evocative, intense and often-violent.”--Comicon.com

“Get ready for an entirely different take on history’s ultimate origin story.”--SYFY Wire

“Partially inspired by the martial-arts comics craze of the ‘70s, Jesusfreak reimagines Jesus’ journey as a Bruce Lee-style combat gauntlet, with blood to spare.”--Paste Magazine
