Why Aren’t You Reading This? Jesus Hates Zombies #1 Featuring Lincoln Hates Werewolves #1
In my recent visit to the comic book store, I came across Jesus Hates Zombies #1. This comic is right up my alley and I purchased it that day. The story is about Jesus fighting the zombie hoard and uniting the rest of the human population….also a time traveling Abe Lincoln is his sidekick. Honestly, this is one of the best off the wall comics I have read in years. It borrows from one of my favorite comics of all time, Tales from the Bully Pulpit; which featured Teddy Roosevelt and Thomas Edison fighting on distant planets. See kids, history can be fun if you throw zombies and aliens into the mix. More info after the break…

IDW Dark and Paramount recently joined forces to launch limited comic book tales set in the worlds of Smile and A Quiet Place, and we’ve learned today that they’ll continue hanging around in those franchise universes with two brand new limited series tales.
Entertainment Weekly has exclusively revealed this afternoon that IDW Dark’s Any Given Smile debuts in September, while A Quiet Place: Rising Tides arrives in November.
First up, from writer Stephanie Williams and artist Pablo Collar, Any Given Smile puts a football-themed twist on Parker Finn’s successful Smile movie franchise.
The five-part limited series is “set in January 1995, during the American Arena League football championship game in St. Augustine, Florida. The rising superstar of the Sharks, backup quarterback Dupree, is feeling the pressure from his teammates, the fans, and also the city’s gambling underworld, to whom he owes a considerable debt. Meanwhile, a sports journalist investigates a string of suicides that may be connected to the big game. At the very least, they are connected to a sinister entity that preys on the minds of its victims.”
From writer Declan Shalvey and artist Luke Sparrow, A Quiet Place: Rising Tides will also be a five-issue limited story. The comic book tale “brings the creatures to the Florida Keys, where a father-daughter duo attempt to survive on water in a houseboat.”
EW further details, “This tense family reunion coincides with the arrival of the vicious creatures that hunt through sound. Grace and her dad find safety on the open ocean, but she’ll have to make landfall sooner or later; the father’s oxygen tank and their supplies are running low, while a hurricane swiftly approaches.”
