The Bible as Graphic Novel, With a Samurai Stranger Called Christ
This… could be interesting. From the New York Times:
Ajinbayo Akinsiku wants the world to know Jesus Christ, just not the gentle, blue-eyed Christ of old Hollywood movies and illustrated Bibles.

Mr. Akinsiku says his Son of God is “a samurai stranger who’s come to town, in silhouette,” here to shake things up in a new, much-abridged version of the Bible rooted in manga, the Japanese form of graphic novels.
Is anyone else reminded of Battle Pope, or Loaded Bible (wherein Jesus fights vampires, which of course reminds me of Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter — “The power of Christ impales you!”)? Or perhaps Xtreme Jesus:
