Rob Liefeld's sci-fi Bible

Rob Liefeld was a big-deal mainstream comics artist in the '90s, churning out seriously ugly-ass superhero stories that have aged about as well as the music of Milli Vanilli. Perhaps you'll be surprised to learn that he's since branched out with Armageddon Now, a series of Left Behind-y books about the End Times. But that vision of apocalypse sounds sadly prosaic compared to Testament, a sci-fi Bible "reimagining" that Liefeld apparently worked on for years.

Rebooting the Bible? Well, you can't fault Liefeld for ambition. "Why can't the Bible look as cool as Star Wars was the question I based this on." Why indeed, Rob? Why indeed.
