The dialogue and the artwork were sort of weak to me. Interesting plot, but I wanted to skip most of the conversations.

This is one part biblical and one part horror. This takes all the gruesome, horrifying moments of the Old Testament and plugs it into modern life. What if God came back and God was a psychopath? Once I started this volume, I zoomed right though it and I can't wait to see what happens next (it will probably include the end of the world as we know it, but it still has my attention).

As a long-time fan of his work, Clive Barker's name drew me to this, as well as the consistently gorgeous and inventive artwork by Haemi Jang. But beyond the initially interesting premise, Next Testament was enormously disappointing. The writing is lazy and uninspired, the characters are a bunch of infuriating, vapid 2D sketches that don't do that wonderful artwork justice. The story jumps wildly around and is as irritating as it is unoriginal. After this and the Scarlet Gospels, it breaks my heart that the once near-genius Barker has fallen so far downhill with his work.

What would you do if your life's work uncovered god? What would you do if your god was anything bit benevolent? I love the challenging ideas Barker presents- as he often does. Aligned closely with Barker's description of the god of colours, the illustrations in New Testament are dream-like.

God is back, God help us all is right! Julian Demond manages to wake up God, the original God (who goes by Wick) and he is utterly unimpressed with the state of the Earth since his exile. This the Old Testament God here so he is vengeful, quick to punish, and rather disinterested in humans aside from as potential for his own amusement. There is a lot of killing going on here and this is only the first four issues of the series. Is this the Apocalypse proper? Will Tristan and Elspeth be able to find out what exactly is going on and how to stop it? It's a fantastic first volume - Clive Barker's cosmic horror does wonders here in comic form -and if this is volume one I can only expect even bigger things from volume 2
