Key item features

Publishers Weekly,Graphic adaptations of the Judeo-Christian bible are a hot trend, from R. Crumb to Rob Liefeld. This treatment proclaims "God is the original action hero" and presents more than 200 Bible tales in comics form. An "action-movie" treatment of the Old and New Testament should have real potential, but it's not realized here. There are a few stunning moments, but they're more weirdness than spectacle: Adam lamenting that-after eating the forbidden fruit-he's not wise, just naked; Cain reflecting that he hates sheep. For the most part, artist Cariello has taken a Classics Illustrated approach, with just the highlights recounted in episodic form. A lack of emotion in the art is a particular weakness given the drama inherent in the source material.���But the most disappointing aspect of both the art and the story is their lack of epic scope. However, the book does give the faithful a graphic interpretation of more obscure Bible tales. Ages 8-up. (Sept.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

Grandson can't stop Reading!

I purchased three. One for myself, one for my grandson and one for his friend. Sergio is amazing. His illustrations pull you in, very engaging. It is well done. My grandson is 8, he loves it. He would never be so captivated by just the written text at this age. The "action" the pictures suggest makes you curious, " what is happening here"? It also makes a great gift for a kid who's family might be opposed to a standard Bible. I love it! I copied some of the pictures and made matching laminated bookmarks.

Grandkids loved reading this Bible.

I gave this Bible to two of our grandchildren. The 9 year old has read it twice and remembers the stories when I quiz her. Gave it to our 11 year old grandson and he loves it. It takes the stories of God and through pictures and dialogue they receive God's truth.
