I've seen the glossy, gussied-up magazine versions of the New Testament at Target, Ceiling Cat has delivered unto us the lolcat Bible, and no one can be without The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but The Manga Bible? I'm not sure I even want to look...

Although it isn't out yet, people already seem to be pre-ordering Bobby Henderson's The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I'm one of them; heck, I already have the FSM T-shirt. I predict that Henderson's book will be a huge success, and in the process will further serve to prove a key axiom:…
Yikes—it's like some kind of horror movie: Inhofe meets Robertson.
Look, Pat, I don't have to tell you about reading the Scriptures, but one of mine that I've always enjoyed is Romans 1, 22 and 23. You quit worshipping God and start worshipping the creation -- the creeping things, the four-legged…
I'm sure you've all heard of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM), right? Sure, its the cute flying pasta plate that's trying to stick it to organized religion. FSM is a farcical "religion" created by a 24 year old guy named Bobby Henderson in 2005, based on the idea that a flying....…
This is really off-topic for GM/BM, but I just can't resist
mocking the astonishing stupidity of the Conservapedia folks.
I'm sure you've heard by now that Andy Schafly and his pals are
working on a "new translation" of the bible. They say that they need to do this
in order to remove liberal bias…
I wonder if they left in all the naughty bits? You have to admit, the medium that gave the world tentacle porn is probably ideally suited to a book as deliciously debaucherous as the Bible.
Wow. As someone who's every bit as much of an anime and manga fan as he is a paleontology fan, I have to say that is some ugly shit right there. Looks more like some publisher trying to cash in on manga's popularity with youth by just randomly slapping the word "MANGA!" on a fairly generic-looking comic book than it does an honest attempt at Japanese comic art. Looking at some of the pages from this thing, it's only really "manga" as far as the pages are black and white and the panels all flow into each other (though this guy's grasp of how to effectively use the latter is rather lacking). The artwork itself looks like some awful Peter Chung Aeon Flux nonsense crossed with something Marvel tossed in the trash halfway through, and a lot of it just plain looks sloppy and unfinished.

Oh hell no. He's linking to a PDF of one of those "How to Draw Manga" books? No wonder his art sucks. He's getting his cues from books that deliberately teach awful drawing techniques in order to allow impatient idiots the chance to crank out bad fanart in under thirty minutes. Anatomy? Proportion? Dimension? Hell with that, the most important thing is learning how to make big, stupid, watery-looking eyeballs and stereotypical Dragon Ball Z poses! :V
Could be worse, though. Could be Serenity.
Well, it definitely looks a little better drawn than a Chick tract, but the writing seems about the same level of skill. I was hoping to see Jesus with a katana, racing through the streets of Neo-Jerusalem on his nuclear cycle, perhaps busting out a Dragonball-Z style energy attack on ol' Scratch, but no such luck. What a jip.
