This book started out a bit..meh, but has REALLY picked up speed. It's NUTS. Very odd, very interesting book.

Basic premise? A teenaged evangelical preacher (I suppose you can call him) who is reknowned for his "Save Yourself" teachings has to deal with his fiance, the one girl he had repeated again and again that was the only girl for him, the girl God had hand picked for him, being beheaded while doing missionary work. He goes to find the man responsible and exact revenge. Along the way he learns of things less "Godly", and with this new world experience, his faith seems to be tested a bit.

It's really a fabulous book. I think they have a trade out, so pick it up. It's great.

Odd is good, I'll see if they have a trade in the comic store and have a browse, along with a list of about ten other books I need to be picking up.
