Ready to take a shower in Holy Water and say a thousand Hail Mary’s? Then let the devil on your shoulder take over and dive right into Miniature Jesus!

The official description from Image:

Devil on one shoulder – angel on the other.

One tells you to do bad things, the other . . . well, you get the idea.

Bad news for a recovering alcoholic if the “good” one is MIA.

Between a liquor-gulping demon and a mummified cat hell-bent on mucking up his fragile stability with esoteric trappings of Egyptian Gods, it’s all about to make our hero’s day hit the proverbial fan.

Writer, creator, illustrator, and part time neurosurgeon Ted McKeever is taking the blame for all of us going to hell. (Just kidding, he’s not really a neurosurgeon). Let’s start with the writing. It’s phenomenal. Long winded at times, but never boring. Everything I ever learned form Catechism cringes and tells my soul not to read onward. But the story is ever so intriguing and very witty. Especially the cat. I hope the cat is a regular character in this story because the dialogue generated by him was really entertaining. Want to hear a bad joke? What do a dead cat, Walt Whitman, and Jesus have in common? This comic!

Now to the art. It’s…breathtaking. Absolutely gorgeous. If you only want to find out what the third layer of hell is like and not the sixth, then just look at the art and don’t read. It’s absolutely beautiful. And know that I’m just kidding. It’s not at all what you think it is when it comes to the religious aspect. At least, not so far. I’m actually concerned that the comic will end up exhausting Ted if he doesn’t hand off either the writing or the art to someone else.

Miniature Jesus receives a 4 out of 5. I fear for my mortal soul for not giving it a 5. But so far, I’m waiting for a plot to thicken. This is off to a great start and I hope the unfolding plot does not disappoint. For the love of God, go read this comic!
