Loaded Bible is a series of one-shot comic books (and a comic book mini-series) written by Tim Seeley, with art by Nate Bellegarde,[1] the first of which, Jesus vs. Vampires, was published in February 2006 by Image Comics.
Publication history[edit]
A follow-up was released May 2007 called Loaded Bible 2: Blood of Christ and it takes place right after the first one. Loaded Bible 3: Communion was released February 2008 and is the conclusion to the first part of the series.
The first issue of Loaded Bible: Blood of My Blood (a 6-issue mini-series) was for sale in comic book shops starting March 2, 2022.[2]
Plot[edit]
The story starts with two acts: the discovery of vampires and the fact that the Christian religion has become much more fanatic. Then, a nuclear global war caused by the religion turns The Earth into an uninhabitable territory. Now, the second coming of Jesus Christ must save America from vampires.
Collected editions[edit]
The three comic books have been collected into a trade paperback:
- Loaded Bible (168 pages, July 2008, ISBN 1-58240-957-9)
Loaded Bible is also available digitally through Devil's Due Digital.
Other media[edit]
Halo-8 Entertainment has optioned the rights to make an "illustrated film" of Loaded Bible to be directed by Matt Pizzolo, who had previously done Godkiller.[3]
