Sean Michael Wilson (writing) Michiru Morikawa (art)
When David loses his wife and child in a tragic car accident he decides, in anger at the cruelty of the event, to turn against God. He sets out to systematically break each of the Ten Commandments in order to both spite God and to get his attention! But will he go all the way, and break the commandment 'Thou shalt not kill'?Two mysterious figures, Mr White and Mr Black, try to win David over to their side: the religious or the humanistic. Deeply sad in parts and comical in others, this modern story explores age old questions: Is there a God? And if there is, does that God care about us?
REVIEWS:
"Michiru Morikawa has a delicacy to her art, and a fine way of personalizing the cast during dialogue free sequences, although some of these would originate in the script. She's very good indeed, and David's characterization is as much down to her strong emotional depiction as any dialogue. Despite the topic, much of the graphic novel is contemplation and conversation, yet there's never a dull looking page."
-Slings and Arrows
"Superbly engaging and wickedly barbed tale of lost love, disillusionment and grief-filled reaction that is both hilariously acerbic and potently thought-provoking."
-Win Wiacek, NOW READ THIS!
"Compelling, thought-provoking, and highly recommended."
