Testament

1 Akedah (1-5; w Douglas Rushkoff; a Liam Sharp). [From DC Comics: From the imagination of best-selling author Douglas Rushkoff, one of the most iconoclastic and acclaimed minds of our era, comes a saga exposing the "real" Bible - and how it is replaying itself in a very new, very real and very dangerous way. In a time that could be the day after tomorrow - when the draft has been reinstated and global currency takes the form of an insidiously promoted mind virus - grad student Jake Stern leads an underground band of cyber-alchemist revolutionaries who use any means necessary to combat the growing threats to freedom. In the process, he discovers a modern threat that has roots in the ancient tales of the Bible. With intricate, darkly detailed art by Liam Sharp, Testament takes place in an unapologetically uncensored Biblical universe, chronicling the grim confrontations between humans and their angry gods. Those horrifying encounters, full of murder, magic, monsters, sex and sacrifice, echo the forces at work beneath the surface of the world's high-tech and highly ideological conflicts. In a story as thrilling as it is sure to be controversial, Jake must overcome sexual, psychic and supernatural obstacles on his way to uncovering the reality behind an eternal story in which he - and all of us - are trapped.]
