The year is 26 C.E. A young Nazarean carpenter is having some trouble adjusting to the violent world around him -- and finding his place within it. He knows he's different... he just doesn't know why. Not yet, anyway. A bloody, two-fisted tale of historical heroic fiction brought to you by JOE CASEY (SEX, ANNUAL, MCMLXXV) and BENJAMIN MARRA (Night Business, Terror Assaulter O.M.W.A.T.).

“Jesus Christ meets Bruce Lee—part Jack T. Chick, part Masters of Kung Fu, all hell-raising fury! Joe Casey and Ben Marra turn the New Testament into a blood-soaked, vengeance-driven graphic novel epic masterpiece using the vernacular of 1970s comic books and b-movies. Comic book fans and God-fearing Christians rejoice - your prayers have been answered!"--Jim Rugg, Street Angel
“Get ready for an entirely different take on history’s ultimate origin story.”--SYFY Wire
"Crazy."--FOX NEWS
“Take some kung-fu, mix in a little 70s exploitation films, stir some of the Bible, and you get Jesusfreak, a gonzo take on Jesus Christ.”--Graphic Policy
“Jesus Christ has been written as the son of God, a messiah, and sometimes just a simple carpenter. But in the ... Jesusfreak, he has been reimagined - 'rebooted' even, to borrow a comic book term - as something utterly different (and possibly sacreligious): action hero. Writer Joe Casey, artist Benjamin Marra, and colorist Brad Sampson's dramatic new take on the biblical hero has him Ric Flair-chopping his enemies, kicking evil in the face, and backflipping like a ninja.”--Newsarama
“[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
