This coloring though...
anti-semetic
>>153451088Never read this run, can I come into this blind? >>153451743It’s the colorist who worked on Byrne’s WW
Thanks.>>153451175What a bunch of cards.
>>153452832>>153451079Anybody familiar with the run wanna answer me?
>>153452832Sorry, but this issue requires an intimate knowledge of the New Testament in order to understand.
>>153453857>but this issue requires an intimate knowledge of the New Testament in order to understandOh no that disqualifies 99% of Christians
>>153454841Why do you think it caused a stink and got banned despite being incredibly Christian
>>153455110Less because of the content of the issue, and more because of the cover Veitch sent to DC for promos. If he had sent the lamb cover this is being published with instead, there wouldn't have been as big a stink raised as to have DC cancel the book.
>>153451194I'm a Christian, desu the only thing that could potentially seen as offensive is making the Magi that visited Jesus occult demon worshippers, the depiction of Jesus himself isn't blasphemous and is in line with the Gospel accounts for the most part.
>>153455175Fucking hell that cover goes hard
bump
>>153451663Thanks.
>>153452832>>153453736It's worth reading.Swampy is spiraling backwards in time and encountering old DC historical characters along the way. Etrigan and/or Jason Blood pops up a lot in his travels.
>>153457780So I won’t be lost if I haven’t read up to issue 87?
The coolest thing about this is that it's printed on actual comic book newsprint again, and all the DC house ads that would've run with it if it had been released in 1989 are included. And since this would've been published in Spring 1989, the back cover ad could only be one thing...
>>153457814It's just a time-travel story about Swamp Thing and Etrigan in the leadup to the Crucifixion, you don't need to know why Swamp Thing's soul is adrift to know that it is.
>>153451743This is printed on classic, comic newsprint, not the modern, glossy paper. It looks better physically on that than the digital scans.
>>153451598Never thought I'd see Hoppy The Marvel Bunny and Jesus in the same panel, but, well, here we are.
>>153459033Oh, really? I have it ordered so I'll looking forward to that. Wondering if they will repeat that for the trade.
>>153451079PRAISE THE LORD
>>153457814you are already in the wrong neighborhood motherfucker, give up your wallet, NOW
Nothing seems particularly blasphemous I think DC was just scared by the optics. Also I was not expecting Etrigan
I wonder how much Veitch changed compared to his original unfinished work.
>>153460876I think the first 3 issues were mostly done, then fill in for the last 2, so probably not that much.
>>153451407When did DC decide for Judas to be the Phantom Stranger?
>>153460427Shut up faggot
>>153460876Probably just the ending. The time travel story was supposed to run until 100 and end with another Arcane/ST fight that ends with ST using what Jesus taught him to redeem Arcane's soul.
