Wild and wooly and somehow still holy, too. What a blast. --Victor LaValle, The Ballad of Black Tom
Crazy. --FOX NEWS
Highly evocative, intense and often-violent. --Comicon.com
This Jesus is a far cry from the one featured in the New Testament. He's a Master of Kung Fu for starters and isn't averse to decapitating his enemies should the situation call for it. --Irish Post
[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
Joe Casey has long thrived on the bold frontier of new ideas and JESUSFREAK is yet another pearl of pure creativity for us to enjoy. What he's accomplished with Benjamin Marra is a spectacle worthy of your attention, no matter who you are, or what you like. ?Robert Kirkman
