If you managed to miss it the first time around, Kirkman and Moore’s debut classic, Battle Pope, is making a second run at greatness. It was somewhat of a critical darling the first time around, especially amongst the then-4CR review crew, but all you indy-haters and anti-B&W comic people completely dissed and dismissed the series. Well, Kirkman and Moore are offering the book again, in color, so here’s your second chance to make things right – don’t screw up again.

Wow to think i was on the cutting edge . come to find out this is a second printing and in color . Oh well. I had found a preview in the comic preview catalog at my local comic/gaming store. My first thought (before finding out it was a second printing) was damm so close to our popes death yet funny. got to pre order it. I had even thought up some futher story line that coinsided with the popes death.
I’m hopen to find the St Michels pre BP comic to. May that be reprinted to ? if I can find the later I’ll hold off on reading BP. or is it worth the read? thanks great website by the way.

Love the comic. I think anyone who doesn’t think it funny is dead or christian. Mad Props and Kudos.
