Picking up right were Volume 2 left off, this edition follows Pope through three love affairs and the sometimes deadly ramifications of them all. Jesus Vs. Santa Pope makes time with the Virgin Mary This one has it all.
Robert Kirkman is an American comic book writer best known for his work on The Walking Dead, Invincible for Image Comics, as well as Ultimate X-Men and Marvel Zombies for Marvel Comics. He has also collaborated with Image Comics co-founder Todd McFarlane on the series Haunt. He is one of the five partners of Image Comics, and the only one of the five who was not one of the original co-founders of that publisher.
Robert Kirkman's first comic books were self-published under his own Funk-o-Tron label. Along with childhood friend Tony Moore, Kirkman created Battle Pope which was published in late 2001. Battle Pope ran for over 2 years along with other Funk-o-Tron published books such as InkPunks and Double Take.
In July of 2002, Robert's first work for another company began, with a 4-part SuperPatriot series for Image, along with Battle Pope backup story artist Cory Walker. Robert's creator-owned projects followed shortly thereafter, including Tech Jacket, Invincible and Walking Dead.
Why am I still reading this? And why did the the first hot chick they showed have to be the Holy Mary? I don't have to ask why Pope wants to get into her pants. But I do have to ask why she allowed it (more than once) and considered it a win for her.
Pope is getting multiple BJs in this one. At least those panels were ok. There are also the panels where Pope and Jesus jump into action. Literally. Those panels parody poses in superhero comics. On top of it all Pope is in love. With a demon, no less.
An exception to the above is the manga parody. That one was well done down to the broken English.
Other cringy moments. Cameos: 2 Stupid violence: 8 (Santa fighting Jesus is one of them) Sex jokes: 19, and all of them awful.
Третий том почти не отличается ни от первого, ни от второго. Все плюсы остались, все минусы не исчезли. История разве что стала чуть-чуть слабее и немного глупее, но это компенсируется убойной сказкой на ночь от Папы и последующим, уморительным сном Папы. Появилось парочка новых, отличных героев, но на этом все.
OK, the pope, the son of God and Santa Claus walk into a bar . . . A really strange mash-up with the pope crushing on Brenda, being rated mediocre at best by the son of God's mother and a big birthday celebration for the son of God. Strange but kinda fun.
The Battle Pope has some fights, sleeps with lots of women. It's starting to feel more like a Robert Kirkman book now, presented as one story with no chapter breaks. Amazingly blasphemous for an American comic: weird to think that Life of Brian got banned for so much less, not all that long ago.
If I could give it lower than one star I would. All the Hell minions got diminished to yes manning the Pope, who still sucks and whose whole schtick is still painfully unfunny. There was no tension here. Except the Jesus and Santa fight did make me smile a bit
Probably one of the most "sacrilegious" book I have read, at least toward Catholicism. But I hunted this down because it has a seen where Santa and Jesus fight because each feel that the other has ruined Christmas for them.
