Master of Horror Clive Barker, co-writer Mark Miller, and international sensation Haemi Jang unveil the second chapter of the year long epic event!
There's a moment in this issue where a character suggests God isn't God, but an actor and this is all a movie pitch. A character replies, “personally I love it, but it could never be made into a movie. A book sure, but not a movie.” One wonders if that was the goal, but was instead made into this very comic. A nice balance if you think about it, because comics tend to be a format between books and movies. Go read this great comic! Read Full Review

I love this comic because it offers a new end of the world story. I don't know what Wick's true intentions are, but I think he is pissed at the humans and wants them to not follow his word, if his word becomes clear, but rather follow truth.

Next Testament is itself truly a testament to unique story telling. The overall feel of the book and the dialogue arent like much else that you could be reading now.

If you crave stories that are different and do more than provide a source of gratuitous action then you should definitely give this book a try. Read Full Review
