Original solicitation copy for TESTAMENT #12:

A sexual tryst between warring gods alters the story itself into a new

permutation of the series Comic Buyer's Guide calls, "the most

assured and original project to emerge from Vertigo since SANDMAN."

With guest art from Peter Gross (LUCIFER) and Gary Erskine

(THE FILTH), this tale reveals how Biblical and modern storylines

diverge - as Dinah is attacked in one reality, and Miriam in the other.

Rushkoff’s Chapter Twelve (#12) Notes are available here.

I finally caught up with my commentary on issues 10 & 11, and am very

ready to jump into this month’s biblical mindfuck.

Also, just in case anyone has missed it, this convo between Grant Morrison and Douglas

Rushkoff appears very relevant to our interests here:

ran a profitable enterprise — until his own god turned against him. Is he

reliving the story of the Biblical Job? Or does Job still live today?”
