Manga Bible — Genesis to Revelation with giant killer robots

The Mecha Manga Bible Stories comix I blogged earlier today’s got competition from another manga Bible called “The Manga Bible: From Genesis to Revelation,” a single volume from Ajinbayo Akinsiku, who is training to become an Anglican priest.
In a blurb for the Manga Bible, which is published by Doubleday, the archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. Rowan Williams, is quoted as saying, “It will convey the shock and freshness of the Bible in a unique way.”
No doubt. In the Manga Bible, whose heroes look and sound like skateboarders in Bedouin gear, Noah gets tripped up counting the animals in the Ark: “That’s 11,344 animals? Arggh! I’ve lost count again. I’m going to have to start from scratch!”
Abraham rides a horse out of an explosion to save Lot. Og, king of Bashan, looms like an early Darth Vader. The Sermon on the Mount did not make the book, though, because there was not enough action to it.
This is hard core… and to think I got excited when I found the Manga Shakespeare Series… The guys in SEA don’t miss a beat when it comes to “Manga-nizing” any topic and any book under the sun.
This should be pretty interesting reading.
