What if the religious right... are right? Once the Christians have floated bodily into the sky, life goes on pretty much as usual for the immoral majority…. except that magic works, if you’re willing to risk demonic mutations. CNN reports that Mr. Christ and Mr. Bush are on a speaking tour of the red states. And an angelic army appears to have been deployed to mop up the sinners.

I agree with those who gave this a poor review that it felt unfinished and disjointed. But I liked it enough to wish that it continued, because one of the "reveal" images at the end was creepy enough for me to decide I liked the whole book. ( )

After the Rapture, magic begins working. But at what cost?

Why I picked it up: I've liked earlier Jim Munro books, although I abandoned "Opening Act of Unspeakable Evil," which this follows on.

Why I finished it: It's short. The art is OK, although shrunk down to the point that I occasionally had trouble when the storytelling relied on visuals. There's a "shaggy dog" element to the story that's worth hanging in there for.

I'd give it to: Fans of The Griff. This was similarly apocalyptic, relationship-obsessed, visually cluttered, and disappointing (to me). ( )

An interesting take on The Rapture, where angels are entirely to be feared, talking dogs are more sinister than expected, and costumes are hard to remove. ( )

Graphic Novel with art by Salgood Sam. This was released as a free download to whet appetites for the follow up Sword of My Mouth. The art is dark, in pencil sketch style and suits the theme. The story itself seems to stagger around a bit and I'm hoping it's mostly setup for Sword of My Mouth, it has a lot of good ideas but doesn't quite tell a story so much as present a series of scenes.

Post Rapture! It seems the Christians were right; an un-numbered amount of people floated off into the sky leaving behind the unwashed immoral majority. There are 'splitters' who believe they can repent and still be saved, a couple dressed as a Mummy and a Bird-woman, military angels around to mop up the worst of the unbelievers and a talking dog.

A graphic novel about a post-rapture world full of strange sorts of magic and armies of angels. It is available as a free pdf download. Nice artwork, interesting fast-paced stories, and a few twists and turns made this a quick way to pass a few hours. ( )
