Babbling Point

+ HOLY SUPER POWERS! "Imagine you’re twelve years old and suddenly discover that you’re the returned Jesus Christ. You can turn water into wine, make the crippled walk again, and perhaps even raise the dead. What do you do, what does your family do, and how does it affect you knowing that you’re destined to grow up and take part in a conflict that people have been waiting almost two thousand years for?" This is the premise of CHOSEN , a comic book by Mark Millar and Peter Gross. It's been described as "Spider-Man meets the Book of Revelations" and "Harry Potter for Christian fundamentalists". The art looks great and knowing Millar, the story will be wild (and religious at the same time). First issue arrives in stores, appropriately, on Christmas Eve. :)
