Okay, really, someone’s going to have to tell me where this came from - Rob Liefeld does the Bible?!?
This is a re-imagining of the events in the Book of Exodus. Here Egypt is depicted with floating pyramids and flying chariots.
This is either genius or hypergenius.

He’s talked about this for a number of years now. I think some of these pages were even available in his sketchbooks from cons past.

On Rob Liefeld’s forum ( you have to be registered) he announced:
“NEW FAITH BASED COMIC IMPRINT:
12 Gates Productions is a name to watch this year as we have many special projects set to rock the publishing world.
12 Gates Productions is a new partnership that I’m a part of that you’ll learn more about in the weeks to come but here are some new images from our first offering Armageddon Now! World War 3.
Armageddon Now!WW3 written by Phil Hotsenpiller details the world as it leads towards its final days and a vast cast of international characters gather to fulfill their roles as mankind’s final days unfold. The art is a collaboration between Marat Mychaels, Rob Liefeld and Matt Swift. Together we are producing amazing work. Marat and I share pages, switching between layouts and finished pencils and our very own Matt Swift is providing the stunning finished artwork. We currently have 35 pages completed. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am about this project. As many of you know I’ve been looking to go in this direction for quite some time and now it’s coming together better than I could have ever anticipated.
There are eight 100 page graphic novels set for release beginning this summer.
You can learn more about all of 12 Gates new projects at Wizard World Los Angeles. We’ll have preview books as well as posters.”

I saw these on Scans_Daily last night and was captivated by the line “Why can’t The Bible look as cool as Star Wars?”
Best thing ever? Maybe.

I can see the marketing now.
“Definitely out before the second coming…”

So which will be better: Liefeld’s or Crumb’s bible book?
