Therefore Repent! Now Out!! August 15, 2007

Tagged: Books,Comics,post-Rapture

tr-arrived-thumb.jpgSo my fifth book and my first graphic novel, a collaboration with Salgood Sam, is finally available. Therefore Repent! is my take on the dark fantasy world established in the Holy Bible’s Book of Revelation. Some folks have asked about its relation to the Left Behind series, also set post-Rapture but with a conservative bent. I haven’t read it (though I have watched the movie starring Kirk Cameron and featuring Toronto’s CBC building as GNN Headquarters) but from what I hear it’s sincere bible fan-fiction, careful not to violate the canon. Mine’s closer to Bible slashfic, what with the bisexual angels and nipple-clamp-enhanced demonic communion. I like to think I’m re-imagining the Bible franchise, like Frank Miller did for Batman. Head over to the store to buy it or keep reading for the back cover copy and to see a hot book striptease.

Good lord, you’ve got full bleed to the edge of the page… all the way to the edge…

Oh god, what a gorgeous shade of pantone blue printing!

Buy it here, or if you’re in Toronto come to our launch tomorrow.

UPDATE: Eye just ran an interview and article on the book!

Back Cover Copy

What if the religious right… are actually right?

Without warning, 144,000 Christians float bodily up into the sky.

For the immoral majority, life goes on pretty much as usual.

Except that after the Rapture, magic works — for those willing to risk demonic mutations.

And an angelic army appears to have been deployed to mop up the sinners.

But through it all, outsiders Raven and Mummy face the possibility of a bigger problem than the end of the world: the end of their relationship.

Advance Praise for Therefore Repent!

“Therefore Repent! is great. Loved the conflict between the old and new religions, plus it’s got Jesus and mutants.” — Joe Meno, author of Hairstyles of the Damned

    Finally, *FINALLY* found a copy of this after a year or so of looking. (At World’s Biggest in TO)

    Happy to have found it, enjoyed it immensely, and looking forward to the sequel.

    I hope it doesn’t take me as long to find it. :D
