This audacious little book doesn't make much effort to be authoritative and include every last Old Testament begatting or bloody massacre. Instead Siku presents jazzy and irreverent riffs on the good book, leaping brazenly over whole reams of material and scattering behind numerous 'Want to Know More' tags directing readers to more explanatory chapter and verse. The action is breezy and flip, drawn in a sharp and Anglicized manga style. The dialogue is not just laced with humorously incongruous Britishisms ('My maths has never been very good!') but with slangy passages worthy of the CW Network (Cain to Abel, 'Whassup, bro?'). Although the book (already a hit in the U.K.) is being released via Doubleday's Galilee imprint and is clearly targeted at youthful believers, it makes little attempt to sanitize the grottier aspects of the source material, as witnessed in the scene where a crowd of Sodom's citizens bellow, 'Bring out those men so that we can rape them!'" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:The creation of the earth The rise and fall of God’s chosen people The mysterious stranger who brought about a new world order And the ultimate showdown between the forces of good and evil This is the greatest story ever told . . . as you’ve never seen it before. Containing both Old and New Testaments, this is the first ever English manga of the most important book of all time.
