And we picked up Sky-dog's comic on FCBD. It was a great deal of fun! I want to affirm what John is saying here. There is certainly nothing anti-Christian in the comic. In fact, some of the other Buzzboy stories have, imho, some very strong Biblical imagery (such as the apple that Buzzboy produces to defeat the once heroic Lord Ultra. The apple is very much reflective of the garden of eden and the fall of human kind. I am a devout Christian, and I am very happy to share Buzzboy stories with my kids. :) My kids and I huge Buzzboy fans. And we picked up Sky-dog’s comic on FCBD. It was a great deal of fun!

It pretends to be about censorship." Interesting review, and certainly one opinion. While I obviously would prefer you liked the comic KLC and Sky-Dog put out, I resepct your opinion. However, your statement regarding the story being anti-Chritian is completely unfounded, and untrue. There is no mention of religion whatsoever-- it is anti-censorship, which to me, is neither a political, nor religious issue. I am, as always in favor or your freedom of speech, I'd just prefer your review be based on facts. “Buzzboy’s (John Gallagher) fight with the Silencer seems enticing until force-feeding us five pages of anti-Comics Code Authority and anti-Christian rhetoric.
