The result? A straightforward, panel-by-panel adaptation of the Gospel accounts covering everything from the Last Supper to the crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Along the way, we talk about:</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Why Marvel was experimenting with projects like this in the ‘90s.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>The surprisingly stacked creative team behind the book.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Whether adapting something this serious into a comic actually works.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>The difference between meaningful faith-based media… and basketball Bibles.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>And how this bizarre partnership even happened in the first place</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>It’s part history lesson, part reaction, and part “how did this exist?” with plenty of the usual off-the-rails tangents along the way.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Whether you grew up with the Easter story or are just here for weird comic book history, this is one of the most unique issues we’ve ever covered.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>#marvelcomics #marvel   #jesus  #easter  #bible  #christianity  #easterstory  #comicbooks  #comics  #90scomics </p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Thank you to our sponsors!
