King of the Dead : Jesus Christ Saves Mankind (from zombies)

From the Kickstarter Project Page

King of the Dead is a novel. "Based on" the Bible, it will use events and settings from the Bible to tell the story of Jesus and the Apostles….fighting a mindless horde of zombies.

The higher concept is to expose the audience to some of the lesser known (and less “warm and fuzzy”) parts of the Bible to raise questions for discussion about Christianity. Many conversations between atheists and believers tend to shy away from the actual content of the Bible. How can you debate the substance of a book you know nothing about?

I don't recognize the name Mickey Lynn from the comics industry, not that I'm an expert on the subject. But I do find it odd that someone who works in the publishing industry needs donations to self-publish his book, especially since it doesn't seem to have been written yet.

Well, he says he wants to hire an editor and an artist for the cover. Seems legit, but I don't have any more knowledge about it than you do.>> ^digitalbombdog:

I'm the author. If you'd like to donate, please visit Kickstarter at -- any amount is welcome! I'm self-publishing because it's too "edgy" for a regular publisher, and I want to see if there's interest. I don't work in publishing, but I've been published (How to Cheat Your Friends at Poker) and the characters I mentioned writing for were for video games, not comics. I've also done a lot of television writing and was an associate producer on "The Aristocrats." You can see me playing the tuba in Penn & Teller's B*lls***, Season One (the episode on second-hand smoke). And that's why I stay behind the camera.

"Edgy?"

For your clever representation of Christianity you select the mentally-deranged vermin of a "church" already universally despised and condemned by an overwhelming majority of Christians.

Why that's like making child rapist roman polanski the poster boy for all H-wood directors!

Yes, the Holy Bible endorses slavery, but it was Christian abolitionists in America and England leading the fight to end that evil institution.

Castigating the Catholic Church (bold, courageous target!--that's never been done!) for "teaming up" with Hitler?

It's so easy and Hollywoodically-correct to bash Christianity.

A book about pedophile zombie mohammed: that's balls. Maybe I'll write that one.

Quantummushroom's response is why I said publishers feel it's "edgy".

You're right. Hitler and pedophiles are too easy. There are plenty of contemporary examples of why attacking Christianity is easy. The book won't deal with that (only with what's in the Bible...and zombies). The video was about why people should learn what's in the Bible.

I'm not claiming to offer up a brand-new theological paradigm. There are a ton of arguments and counter-arguments, and I'm presenting them in a narrative. The reader will decide which argument makes more sense. Is there a hell? What happens to dead babies who haven't accepted Jesus? How do you reconcile "free will" with a deity that offers immortal rewards? What does the Bible say about eating feces and drinking urine?

Since the Bible's perfect, it should stand up to questions. It has all the answers, right? So isn't exposing people to those questions a good thing? Why is exposing people to the concepts of the Bible "bashing"? Are you only allowed to pick it up if you agree beforehand to accept everything within it without question?

How do Christians expect to convert atheists and other religions to their faith if they can't learn about it? Can you only biology if you agree not to ask any questions? Okay, bad example.

And yes, there are good and bad people, regardless of religion (or lack thereof). And a few bad Popes or Holy Crusades or Inquisitions doesn't mean that every Christian is evil, necessarily.

Good luck with your Mohammed book. I'd skip the slideshow.

Well put - you should be a writer or something.>> ^KotDBook:
