Punk Rock Jesus #6 Review

Punk Rock Jesus is amazing. The series has been incredible right from the beginning and it ends in a spectacular fashion. It's brilliant and heartbreaking, epic and emotional. We get a lot of answers here, and more than a few questions. This is book that makes you think. If you haven't been reading Punk Rock Jesus, you owe it yourself to pick up the collected addition when it releases this spring. Don't miss one of the best series of 2012.

Sean Murphy has proven that he's just as capable writing comics as he is drawing them. Punk Rock Jesus is so carefully crafted and brilliantly structured, you'll swear it was written by one of the top writers in the industry. The attention to character detail is stunning. This final issue doesn't just give us the obvious ending. It pulls the rug out from under you with the first few pages and it doesn't stop with each succeeding page. It's been one hell of ride, and Sean Murphy has proven he is a writing force to be reckoned with.

We've praised Murphy's art since the very first issue, and all of that praise certainly applies here. Punk Rock Jesus is a gorgeous, black and white masterpiece. From the simple police interrogation in the first few pages to the bloody and violent final page, you'll find yourself in awe of Murphy's work. From his layouts to his use of shadows and detail, Murphy shows the skills of a grand storyteller. Punk Rock Jesus is awesome, in nearly every way. Buy this book so Vertigo will pump out more like it. The world needs more comics like Punk Rock Jesus.
