Biblical Sequel
Chosen #1
Creators: Mark Millar, Peter Gross
32 pages, $2.99
So? Mel Gibson's not the only one with something to say about Jesus Christ. Mark Millar's three-issue look at the second coming is more serious than you might expect from someone so well known for going over the top. But the story of 12-year-old Jodie Christensen finding out he's really Jesus is interesting because it takes into account Jodie's personal feelings and point of view, something not normally associated with biblical tales. Where exactly the setup will take us isn't clear from the first issue, and much of the success of it will come in how satisfying an ending Millar has cooked up. The art from Peter Gross (best-known for his work on DC/Vertigo's Lucifer) is clear, dramatic and well-colored by Jeanne McGee. Dark Horse deserves credit for publishing a comic that could draw negative attention and criticism to the biz. While it clearly won't have the media splash of "The Passion of the Christ," Chosen is a read that could go either way in the end but keeps you reading until then. Grade: B.
