God Is Dead, Volume 1

It's refreshing to read comics that aren't obvious screenplays for movies (though I like those too)–I'm confident this would never get made into a film, and that's just fine. A nice look at how theism might work if all the gods (or, many of them) actually existed and came back to earth. This book is a nice excuse to see Odin battling Zeus, and though it seems odd to me that Gaia is one of the “new” gods, the ending of this arc is still satisfying.

Aside from all that, this is a nice little treatise, in comic form, on theology and atheism. Gods coming back to earth seems like the logical endpoint of fundamentalism, and this is a fun exploration of ideas, while still getting to see Gaia kick Zeus' ass.
