Like many comedic examinations of faith and society, it proves far more efficient at deconstructing the problems with organized religion and the world and posing solutions than more serious theses. The fact that this analysis comes through well-crafted artwork and funny one-liners does not diminish the power of its message. Read Full Review

As an added bonus, this book has a preview of Billionaire Island by Russell and artist Steve Pugh. That looks amazing as well. For now, this is an excellent issue and maintained the quality on this book that I have come to expect. Read Full Review

With issue #6, Ahoys Second Coming reaches the endof its first season, as Ahoy has announced that the series will be continuing beyond its initial solicitations after a brief hiatus. Thats a good thing, as some aspects of this issuethe Jesus story particularlyseem unsettlingly up in the air. Read Full Review

Even though this reviewer wasnt a huge fan of the ending, I can still see the overall issue as creatively original, captivating, and something that has stirred up some great questions to ponder in my own faith journey. To anyone who has followed Mark Russells work in the comic realm, they would acknowledge that there have been some ups and downs. However, this series has helped to solidify his genre of comics and his place within the medium. You could even say that Ahoy Comics and Mark Russell were a match made in heaven. Look no further than their next partnership, BILLIONAIRE, which you can get a sneak peek of this issue, to see the brooding partnership continue to blossom. Guys, pick this comic up if youve been following along to date. If not, this reviewer would highly recommend the trade while keeping your eyes open for SECOND COMING Season Two on the horizon.

A fine finale to one of the best miniseries of the past year. Read Full Review

Pace and Kirk deliver some great art in this issue. The characters look great and the contrast in styles between the past and present are perfectly executed. A great looking issue. Read Full Review

Overall, issue #6 serves as a good finish to the first season of Second Cominc, though it does read like a rush to the end. Still, Russell and Pace have left things off in a great place to pick up again in the future. There's a lot to be had here, from some humor and even more great criticism and reflection on faith, Christianity, and what it means to be a martyr. Read Full Review

Second Coming #6 is a comic that is both entertaining and attempts at wrestling with the big questions in life, and Mark Russell, Richard Pace, Leonard Kirk, and Andy Troy succeed at the first part more than the second one. However, there's also a level of humility to not trying to wrap up a tale of gods and humans, faith and doubt in an easily packaged takeaway. Just like God's bowling game and metaphor, humans are flawed and messed up, but we have our moments and can find friendship and community like Jesus did with his superhero roommate in Second Coming.

Ultimately, Second Coming was a series with visual and comedic charms, but also one that could never live up to the ambitions of its premise or the weighty themes it addressed. Read Full Review

The flashback sequences are confusing and I am not sure where they fit within the context of the story. Read Full Review

Sorry to see the volume end.

Overall it was an entertaining issue and I liked the ending of Sunstar’s wife getting pregnant. But I was not crazy about the flashbacks or Jesus killing Satan.
