Why do we do the things that we do? How often do we lack a good answer?

Do you find most Christian fiction to be wishy-washy and gutless; where there’s no real threat to the characters; and where the storytellers are just constantly reassuring their audience?
I do.
It’s no wonder that Christian publishing is in the tank. I’m finding that Christian book publishers, Christian distributers, (most) Christian bookstores, Christian filmmakers, and (most) Christian television networks only want material that contains that same kind of wishy-washy and gutless (i.e.: boring) stories. Over the last several years, while talking to a lot of these folks, I’m finding that they have very dumb business policies. They’ll disregard a work not based on the content, but on some dopey rule that they have.
Well, you won’t find any of that dullness in THE SWORD OF EDEN graphic novel! Now, I wouldn't say that THE SWORD OF EDEN is too terribly edgy. Honestly, it has some bite in a few places. The stories certainly aren’t boring.
I’ve been getting great feedback from readers and parents. This is not just because of the content (the story, the artwork, and the Gospel message), but also because super-heroes are quite popular. Also, THE SWORD OF EDEN is a black-and-white book. Although the graphic novel is not a Manga; black-and-white Manga books are phenomenally popular amongst teens and adults. For example, sales of the Manga, DEMON SLAYER, outsell all American comic books COMBINED.
Anyway, that’s my rant.
I feel better now.
To purchase THE SWORD OF EDEN graphic novel, just visit my website: www.theswordofeden.com

The last couple of weeks, I’ve been talking with a few book distributors about getting THE SWORD OF EDEN in secular bookstores, as well as in more Christian bookstores. We’ll see how that turns out.
Comics, Sequential Art, is a powerful literary artform. It has the potential to tell important stories and ideas. It’s a wonderful medium in which to share the Gospel. Also, THE SWORD OF EDEN allows me the opportunity to create Christian comics that Christian readers can enjoy without feeling insulted or feel as if they are compromising God’s principles.
Here’s a splash page from THE SWORD OF EDEN: SHINOBI (including bleed art)…
