The 6 Greatest Jesus Appearances in Comics
Merry Christmas, henchmen and henchwomen! Are you enjoying the big day? I know I am. So let’s celebrate with style! Two years ago, I put together a list of Santa Claus’ best comic book appearances. I think it’s only fair to give proper due to the other half of the Christmas occasion: so let’s take a look at the best comic book appearances of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ!
You get the presents on his birthday
Surprisingly, J-Christ doesn’t get around as much as I thought he would. He isn’t even an honorary member of the Justice League, fer cryin’ out loud! But don’t feel too bad for the Son. Whether he’s a 12-year-old boy, a black man, a gun-toting maniac or a zombie-killing badass, comics love Jesus.
So join me after the jump, on this day of his Holy birth, to celebrate Christmas with the six greatest Jesus guest-appearances in comics! All religious denominations are welcome.
All I Want for Christmas is LEGOs!
Whenever someone asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year, I told them I wanted LEGOs. And yes, I did turn 30 this year. Thank you.
The problem with being 30 is that I already buy anything I need. That means Christmas gifts should be things I want. And with DVDs going out of style, and my tastes in clothing, music and books relatively unknown, I asked for LEGO sets, because deep down, I’m still a little boy.
My dad said he didn’t want to get me LEGOs until I had kids of my own who could play with them. I can’t say he’s wrong. But have you seen the new Jabba’s Palace LEGO sets!? They are sweet!
6 Awesome Things I Got for Christmas
I love Christmas. And with my family, it’s especially wonderful. Both my immediate and extended family all get together down on our grandparents’ farm and everybody exchanges gifts. We have a big Christmas dinner with delicious food and great desserts. And everybody gets along. Forget what you see in movies or TV where everybody’s drunk or mad at each other. That’s not my family, not on Christmas. Everybody gets along, everybody has a great time, and it’s been that way since I was a wee little henchman.
I also always get awesome presents!
My wrapping skills are not that good
Not that Christmas is just about getting presents. I also really splurge on gifts for others too. I’m not a cash/gift card kind of guy. So even for my distant aunts, uncles and cousins that I don’t see very often, I’ll buy them something cool. Because if they wanted money, I could just loan them money. Christmas is the one time of the year when you go out of your way to buy something nice for the people you love. Here’s a list of the six most awesome things I got for Christmas this year.
Christmas with Henchmen 21 and 24
The best Henchmen in the whole world, #s 21 and 24 from The Venture Bros. sing a joyous Christmas song! It seems old, but it’s still pretty awesome. If you’re a fan of The Venture Bros, this is a real treat. Plus it’s both Christmas and henchman themed, which is perfect for my blog today! So yay!
A Very Batman Christmas
Just an awesome Batman picture I found online somewhere. I don’t know who drew it, so if you know, please tell me in the comments. Otherwise, everyone can just enjoy this fantastic piece of art. Be sure to zoom in to catch all the little details.
