THEREFORE, REPENT!

Written by Jim Munroe, art by Salgood Sam.

What if the religious right... are right?

Therefore Repent! is a graphic novel set in a Chicago neighborhood after the Rapture. Once the Christians have floated bodily into the sky, life goes on pretty much as usual for the immoral majority... except that magic works, if you're willing to risk demonic mutations. CNN reports that Mr. Christ and Mr. Bush are on a speaking tour of the red states. And an angelic army appears to have been deployed to mop up the sinners. But through it all, outsiders Raven and Mummy face the possibility of a bigger problem than the end of the world: the end of their relationship.

In the tradition of The Book of Revelations, Therefore Repent! is a lurid, dark fantasy tale. By taking the apocryphal scripture as literal truth -- as the American powers-that-be claim to do -- the story also explores the political and spiritual ramifications of God abandoning humanity.

160 pages, $24.99.

Packaged with interstitial material by Wm. Messner-Loebs, Tom Spurgeon and Pat DiNizio of The Smithereens.
