Klaudette, the one-eyed geisha, stages her latest show: the raping and killing of Father Elano. With the help of his feral Cannies, King Richie’s renegade warriors crash her party and throw her to the sharks. Later, Richie and Elano strike a deal: to aid the Jesuit in his pursuit of J-Clone, Richie will facilitate Elano’s entrance into Sir Gottfrey’s stronghold in exchange for a free pass off the island.

Misbegotten Volume One: Blade Runner meets The Da Vinci Code

If you’re tired of spider-this and bat-that, how about a clone of Jesus for a change…? Misbegotten Volume One: Runaway Nun is an exercise in genre bending, a mashup of bio-punk and cyber-punk, with a touch of ‘swords & sandals.’ Highly experimental (and slightly irreverent), this comic book endeavors to be a break from the ‘more of the same’ fare that populates the shelves of any comic book store. Misbegotten is written by Caesar Voghan and Eric Granger with art by Justin Case, Casey Bailey, lettering by William Bohm, and a cover by Case.

Look for Misbegotten Volume One: Runaway Nun in comic book stores on January 10, 2018. Preorder the book with the Diamond item code NOV171131.

Sir Gottfrey arrives aboard Domus Mariae searching for Double-M. Father Micon takes the bullets intended for Elano and dies in his disciple’s arms. On Harlequin Island, Brother Ziggy, a Sigmund Freud-replika-turned-monk, takes runaway replikas to the rendezvous point with the Franciscans’ submarine that has Elano on board. Once inside the replika ghetto, Elano stumbles into the crossfire between two rival gangs and ends up captured by Klaudette.

The Pope orders the kidnapping of the Lord’s body double from the Harlequin Island. Father Elano makes his way to the Domus Mariae, the carrier-turned-abbey.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by

Wednesdays are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in!

Each week our contributors are choosing up to five books and why they’re choosing the books. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this Wednesday.

Alex

Top Pick(s): Bloodshot Salvation #1 and Secret Weapons #4 (Valiant Entertainment) –  There’s a funny thing this week. There’s really only two comics I can’t wait to pick up from my LCS, and both are from Valiant: Bloodshot: Salvation #1 and Secret Weapons #4. While I’ve read both, I want to reread them both in print without the review copy watermark on them.

Mr. Crypt #1 (Alterna) – It’s a living skeleton and the comic is about $1.50. What’s not to love?

 

Paul

Top Pick: Jean Grey #7 (Marvel) – I’ve really been enjoying this series and seeing Jean meeting up with other heroes and learning from them has been fun. But to be totally honest, I’m really just looking forward to seeing Scarlet Witch in this issue. Not too much of a fan boy, eh?

Super Sons #8 (DC Comics) – This is a fun, action filled super hero book that you all should be reading.

U.S.Avengers #10 (Marvel) – I’m interested to see how the fall of Hydra will effect this team, and looking forward to them going out to look for Cannonball. This book is hit or miss with me, and the Secret Empire tie ins were just alright, so I’m hoping things pick up.

X-Men Gold #12 (Marvel) – This book has been a good read, even though I do have a few issues on how some characters have been depicted or altogether pushed to the side (looking at Storm). I would like to see this book be more of a team feel like the first few issues were; lately is just feels like ‘the tales of Shadowcat and Colossus’ with the rest of the team just popping up as support.

 

Shay

Batwoman #7 (DC Comics) – Kate and her dad spend some time stranded in the first installment of the Fear and Loathing story arc.

Harley Quinn #28 (DC Comics) – Harley’s running for office. An anti-heroine for the people!

Harley Quinn Batman Day Special (DC Comics) – I’m all for anything Harley related especially when we get to see her toxic relationship fable with Joker. Here’s to hoping that she stays smart and stays single .

Luke Cage #5 ( Marvel) – It’s going down in New Orleans and I’ve got popcorn.

 

Brett

Top Pick: Batman: The Red Death #1 (DC Comics) – I’m all in with DC’s latest even Metal and this one gives us the scoop on one of the alternate worlds’ Batman. I’ve read it and holy crap is it good.

Catalyst Prime: Superb #3 (Lion Forge Comics) – I’ve been sucked into the Catalyst Prime world and this series is standing out in a teenage superhero sort of way that has enough different to make it a must read.

Dark Ark #1 (AfterShock) – You know the story of Noah… but what about that other ark?

Misbegotten: Runaway Nun #1 (Action Lab: Danger Zone) – Haven’t read this yet but it feels like the grindhouse sort of concept and movie that I really enjoy.

World of Animosity #1 (AfterShock) – This amazing comic world expands with this new series and is absolutely a world you should be checking out if you haven’t already.

MISBEGOTTEN: RUNAWAY NUN #1

Writer(s): Caesar Voghan and Eric Granger
Artist Name(s): Justin Case and William Bohm
Cover Artist(s): Justin Case (Covers A-B), Photo Cover (Cover C)

In a post-apocalyptic world gone medieval, the Church sends their top monk warrior to infiltrate a renegade scientist’s enclave and kidnap the J-Clone, the Lord’s vat-born twin. Saving the holy clone from the cross forces, the monk must confront the truth of his own (very immaculate) birth.

Clones of Marilyn Monroe, Hitler, Gandhi and Jesus… oh my! Misbegotten is cyber-punk religion gone mad!

Action Lab: Danger Zone’s Misbegotten is Blade Runner Meets The Passion of the Christ

Posted on by

Misbegotten: Runaway Nun is a new serie from writers Caesar Voghan and Eric Granger with art by Justin Case, Casey Bailey, and William Bohm being publisher by Action Lab Entertainment‘s mature imprint Action Lab: Danger Zone.

In a dystopian future, a warrior priest is sent on a do-or-die mission to save a Jesus-clone from being sacrificed during a mock Passion play. Saving the holy clone from the cross forces the monk to confront the truth of his own (very immaculate) birth.

What if Marilyn Monroe fell in love with Jesus of Nazareth and tried to save him from the cross? There is a world in which this scenario is not that far-fetched—the world of Misbegotten!

Half post-apocalyptic adventure and half absurdist satire, Misbegotten is an exercise in genre-bending wrapped around a Holy Grail journey through an immersive apocalyptic landscape of biopunk iconography.

Unlike other similar stories that played on the ethical implications of cloning for medical purposes, Misbegotten: Runaway Nun explores a future where humans are cloned for the sheer enjoyment of personal entertainment. Its plot emerges from the religious establishment’s reaction to what is perceived to be a blasphemous threat. The many twists and turns make for a sci-fi thriller with larger implications, the thrill of adventure complementing a theme that will resonate with larger audiences.

Misbegotten: Runaway Nun #1 will be available in a comic store near you on September 20.
