Jesus Hates Zombies by Jeff Bartolotta, Jeff Mccomsey, Stephen Lindsay (2009, Paperback)

Jesus Hates Zombies is a title that begs to have a comic or movie made, if only to address the sheer audacity of the statement. Luckily, Steven Lindsay decided to make a comic about Jesus and Zombies. While he was at it, he decided to throw another one our way as well. Apparently, Abe Lincoln hates werewolves. Who knew?

With such strong statements to draw the reader in, the real question I had when reading was would Steven Lindsay and Steve Cobb be able to pull it off? Could they live up to the title? Or, would it be another Snakes on a Plane; a project with an audacious title and all the potential for over-the-top fun that ended up falling short? There was only one way to find out.

The basic premise is simple: The earth is over run by zombies and Jesus has been sent down to take care of the problem. Because his power is directly related to people’s faith in him, he is very weak. He is forced to rely not on jedi-type tricks, but on good old-fashioned muscle and a baseball bat.
