Jodie Christianson is a normal 12 year old boy - until the day he realises he's not. From the sly and mischievous mind of Mark Millar comes a story about that sets the biggest religious happening of all time in a sleepy American town and charts the varying reactions it inspires. It's slightly cheeseball but told in a classy way and has the air of something that I could imagine Steven Spielberg producing in the 1980s: kinda like The Goonies mixed with Poltergeist but with the "epic" levels turned all the way up. The art by Peter Gross is dark and moody in all the right ways and the shocks hit hard and deep. Damn good reading.
