DC comics cancels ‘blasphemous’ Jesus superhero series, ‘Second Coming’

(Worthy News) – DC Comics announced the cancelation of the series “Second Coming” after nearly a quarter of a million Christians protested against it.

Bleeding Cool reports that the popular comic book publisher informed retailers that they had decided against publishing the “Second Coming” series. Written by Mark Russell and illustrated by Richard Pace for DC Vertigo, the series was set to debut in March.

The series made headlines at the top of the year and was quickly labeled by many Christians as “blasphemous.” Subsequently, a petition to cancel the comic series went up on Citizens Go and garnered over 230,000 supporters. [ Source: Christian Post (Read More…) ]
