Chosen by Mark Millar and Peter Gross

Jodie Christianson is a 12-year-old boy living in a small town in Illinois. While walking in the woods with a couple of friends (in search of a thrown away pornographic magazine, no less) Jodie comes across a bridge that has vehicle traffic overhead. Suddenly, an accident occurs on the bridge, and a giant trailer-truck comes crashing down on Jodie, who is distracted playing a video game with his digital watch.

The driver of the truck is taken to hospital with severe injuries. To the town's shock, however, Jodie survives the accident without even a scratch. On his return to school, Jodie -- who is a notoriously poor student -- begins to answer any question that his teachers ask him, while performing a series of miracles such as curing the sick and turning water into wine. As these seemingly impossible acts begin to accumulate, Jodie is told that he is the Son of God, while still dealing with the fact that he is in junior high.

This comic book is truly brilliant. With a highly original story, gorgeous illustrations and a unforgettable ending, it is a wonderful read. If you are a comic book reader (or even a fan of science fiction and fantasy) this short graphic novel is a must read.

4 1/2 out of 5 stars
