Comic Book Review of Battle Pope Christmas Pope-tacular by Robert Kirkman

Ok, so the Pope is a super hero and Jesus is his sidekick. They battle the forces of darkness which are far more proactive than in our world. Battle Pope is womanizing superman who does it because it's his job. Jesus is, yep you guessed it a hippie.

In this issue God says that there are no more good or bad children. Well who gives a shit right? Santa does because without good boys and girls he has no job. The North Pole breaks down and he's out of a job. He moves to the city and sleeps in a dumpster.

Jesus is sad because no one remembers it is his birthday anymore. People think more about what they are getting than what he gave them. His mother comes to visit him because that is what mothers do. Catch is she's stacked like a brick house. Battle Pope decides to show her the bed room since Jesus needs some time alone.

While Jesus is out he runs into the defunct Santa one look and they both get into it. Jesus blames Santa for people not celebrating his birth. Santa blames God for the loss of his job. After Marry and Pope give it a few rounds we learn that once you've been banged by the best even a man like Battle Pope can't get it good. They turn on the TV and see the fight. Both run to break it up and all is forgiven. Then they have a birthday party for Jesus. I am a large fan of Battle Pope and hope that new issues come out soon.

The art is always top notch I think it looks better because it is only black and white. The artist also has his own style so Battle Pope has its own look not found in other comics. The jokes are insane and have been know to crack rib cages. Nothing is as funny as Battle Pope. This is a must have for anyone who loves funny comics and seeing as it's the holidays it should be on the top of everyone's list.
