So, what is it? io9 has the report, and a couple more samples (including Spider-Man and Ultraman). (And no, “Buddhist comic geek” is not a slam. I’m one of’ em.)
Comics is actually how I got into Buddhism! I started reading Osamu Tezuka’s ‘Buddha’ and was mind blowingly inspired by everything the comic talked about Most of Tezuka’s comics seem to touch on Buddhist philosophy too, esp ‘pheonix’. I now incorporate Buddhist philosiphies into my comics too, although not in a super obvious way I guess!

I like it a lot… and I wonder how long it will be before someone comments that they find it offensive.

Ha! Just awesome. I’d like to see Wolverine as Heruka

Let me be the first to say this offends me… because we all know the real all-time super hero is Superman.

I find this horribly offensive. I mean would someone make a painting of Wolverine on a cross?

Oh right…they did. Well at least we should all remember why Wolverine died for our sins.
