December (and 2023) is coming to a close, and so we're bringing you the final installment of our Jesus-themed nudity for Nerdcore Friday. This time, it's from the modern world in the form of a comic called The Chosen One: The American Jesus Trilogy.
This weekend (well, next Monday) marks Yeshua's supposed birthday. And there's no better way to ring in this appropriated Pagan holiday than by featuring Jesus in his birthday suit.
Ah, there's no better way to celebrate the (supposed) birth month of our (supposed) lord and savior Jesus Christ by posting naked comics that are centered around Christianity.
I gotta say, for the longest time, the only things I knew about Neil Gaiman were that he was Tori Amos's good friend and the (fairy) godfather to Tash, Amos's daughter.
Well, I should've titled it "A Straight's Dick & Butt in FreakAngels" because they technically belong to just one character, the one with the ability to bend the mind of non-powers.
Jeff Lemire never disappoints. Some of his work can be too reflective to the point of depressing, but this one has more comedic punches and is less nihilistic. Maybe it's Matt Kindt's influence?
When I first read Deathbed, I didn't know what to expect. But it was such a nice surprise to see a naked guy featured prominently in the comic book, unlike that Worldtree crap.
I always thought my six years in an all-boys Catholic school made me fall in love with the Christian myth and iconography, but maybe it'd already been cultivated way before that.
