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.
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.
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?
