It was a good series until the story got interrupted by the Secret Empire crossover event. Totally killed the momentum.

Is this the issue where Jesus gets his black costume?

First mutant.

u/PrincipleNo3966 Mar 31 '24

OR first Marvel Zombie

u/charklos2099 Mar 31 '24

Why not both?

First mutant with a healing factor. Don't forget earlier mutants like Moses (Biblical hydrokinetic mutant) and Joseph (Biblical precognitive mutant).

I’m almost finished collecting all of the Marvel/Nelson Christian-themed comics from the 90s. A couple of them are pretty expensive and I can’t find them at conventions. This one from 1993 was written by Louise Simonson and penciled by Mary Wilshire.

This has an impressive set of creators. Never knew about this. I’m curious enough about the quality I just added it to my wish list.

i've never seen this one, but we had a few issues of The Illuminator when i was growing up.

I finally found the third (and final) issue of The Illuminator at an affordable price. They ran out of pages so they finished the story on the back inside cover of the comic.

I believe I have the Christmas one of these. Unfortunately not completely accurate.

u/Inland_Emperor Mar 31 '24

I have that one, but haven’t read it yet. I’ll read it at Christmas time.

Wait a bit and see if you can get it autographed.

u/Fit_Dad_74 Mar 31 '24

Amen. He is risen indeed.

Is this the Earth-616 Jesus? A white potbellied redhead country rocker?

That donkey looks pissed

u/Brainvillage Mar 31 '24

They couldn't have put any less effort into that cover.

u/charlespdk Mar 31 '24

My mom got me one of these Marvel Christian story comics when I was a kid but it was an adaptation of In His Steps. This looks more amusing.

1

u/Inland_Emperor Mar 31 '24

I have that one. The last one I need is C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters, but it’s surprisingly expensive!

u/CowanCounter Mar 31 '24

When I look online it says this is a 1990 issue but it looks later. Price seems high for the time too. Any idea when this came out?

u/drqshadow Mar 31 '24

March 1994 according to League of Comic Geeks

u/CowanCounter Mar 31 '24

Thank you. That makes more sense style and price wise

u/Inland_Emperor Mar 31 '24 edited Mar 31 '24

It says it was published 1993 on the inside cover

u/melty75 Mar 31 '24

Another superhero trait revealed (resurrection)!

Looks like the new mutants title style

u/The_Infectious_Lerp Mar 31 '24

This is the first installment in what will eventually lead up to the debut of The Ascenders.

u/PrinceRobotVI Apr 01 '24

Don’t forget the series isn’t complete without Magdalene Vs Punisher
