Empire, book one: The Vanishing

Review By AJ Reardon

Empire, book one: The Vanishing, will likely hold little interest for most comic readers out there. Created/written/drawn/and-everything-elsed by Christine Kerrick and published by O-Positive press, the book deals with the Biblical prophecy of the rapture, and the events surrounding it (generally called "The Tribulation").

Even as a Christian, I had a hard time paying attention to the story, and I am sure most people of other beliefs (or lack thereof) would find themselves struggling to make it through. I find the story to be much too bleak... Sure, one would expect as much given the subject matter, but I find that life is bad enough without reading bleak fiction. If anything, Christians might consider it worthy of picking up just to support a fellow Believer.
