Interesting new comic from Image released today

Don't know how many comic book geeks are in here, but if you are (and even if you aren't) you know the awesomeness of Image (Walking Dead, for example). They just released this 5 book series that seems like it would be appreciated by the group. It's called Miniature Jesus. I'll be grabbing it today when I go to the comic book store; I'll let you know what I think.

Image's description:

Devil on one shoulder - angel on the other. One tells you to do bad things, the other . . . well, you get the idea. Bad news for a recovering alcoholic if the "good" one is MIA. Between a liquor-gulping demon and a mummified cat hell-bent on mucking up his fragile stability with esoteric trappings of Egyptian Gods, it's all about to make our hero's day hit the proverbial fan.


From the review:
Let’s start with the writing. It’s phenomenal. Long winded at times, but never boring. Everything I ever learned form Catechism cringes and tells my soul not to read onward. But the story is ever so intriguing and very witty. Especially the cat. I hope the cat is a regular character in this story because the dialogue generated by him was really entertaining. Want to hear a bad joke? What do a dead cat, Walt Whitman, and Jesus have in common? This comic!
