This comic is a great gift to come out on Hannukah this year. Read Full Review

Those who missed the original Second Coming could enter the saga with this issue and feel like they haven't missed a thing. I would advice against this, however, as the first volume was fantastic and this issue, while good, is not quite representative of what the series as a whole has been like to date. The second issue blurb promises more of Jesus reacting to how humanity has changed his teachings over the past two millennia and hijinks will no doubt ensue. I look forward to them. Read Full Review

'Second Coming: Only Begotten Son' #1 switches focus away from Jesus and onto Sunstar in a secret origin story that will be all too familiar to readers. But, it doesn't mean with teh added humour it's not a fresh and funny take on the story of a lone infant rocketed to Earth on a space ship. A space ship made of finest, classiest Zirconia crystal!

Second Coming: Only Begotten Son #1 is a wonderful continuation and a fantastic exploration of living in a dying society with absolutely zero real-world parallels. None whatsoever. Nope. Not a one. Read Full Review

Sunstar is about to have a kid gifted to him by capital G God. His introspective of trying to figure out his own parents is impactful and grim despite the comedic tone. Read Full Review

We are greeted in this first issue with some funny, bold and striking moments. The plot is nowhere near clear, but as it is the first issue I am willing to let that slide. I do know at this point that I am going to be coming back for issue #2, if only to get a better idea why our Superman-type character is sharing a house with Jesus in the closing pages of issue #1.

Mark Russell pulls no punches with his social commentary, but does it in a way that doesn't feel like you're being beaten up by it. It is, in a word, fantastic. Read Full Review

Second Coming is one of the most exciting commentaries on superheroes in some time and when you throw in Jesus Christ it gets even more compelling. This sequel series offers a lot to dig into for the superhero crowd and continues to show Mark Russell and Richard Pace are at the top of their game. Read Full Review

For a new reader, this should be a good jumping on point. Theres little investment required to get up to speed with whats happening, but I cant help feel that this issue might not grab a reader in the same way as the debut did. The pacing seems a little slower and more deliberate to allow the anger and desperation to take root and grow. Theres still a lot of humour in these pages though, and the tragic fall of Zirconia leads elegantly up to a closing panel which promises more of the kind of development I expected. With a warm tingle of excitement, I wonder if well get a similar origin story for the other hero in this duo? Read Full Review

Mark Russell is a horrible comic book writer, no wonder DC refused to publish this crap.
