The Chosen #1
Called by Name
The Volume 1
contains original graphic novel depictions from the television show, The Chosen, through the eyes of world-class artists.
Illustrated scenes of Jesus turning water into wine, His meeting with the Samaritan woman at the well, His healing of a paralyzed man, and more, will both excite and draw readers closer to Him.
From catacomb paintings to stained glass windows, Christians have always used art to not only tell but show the gospel story. To that end, The Chosen uses television. But by working with new and talented artists, Season 1 has been adapted into a fully illustrated graphic novel, including scenes
• Mary Magdalene being called from darkness into light
• Simon and Andrew and the miraculous catch of fish
• The paralyzed man who was lowered through the roof—and then healed
• Nicodemus and his secret meeting with Jesus under cover of night
Based on the groundbreaking TV show, graphic novel lovers of all ages will be moved and drawn closer to the Hero of the story as they visually experience these age-old truths in a distinctive way.

The illustrations are beautiful!
It's pretty close to the show, some scenes had to be shortened.
One little thing that bugged me, in the show Matthew's mother's name is Elisheva, but for some reason, they changed her name to Isabel in the comic. I looked up origins, and Isabel is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Elizabeth that can be traced back to Elisheva, but why didnt they keep her Hebrew name in the comic? Why change it? 🤷♀️
