Battle Pope Respect Thread!!!

[hulksmash9]

If you have read other Robert Kirkman stuff, this is his first series. Done with the art of Tony Moore and various other artists, the book is unique.

Battle Pope mainly consists of the Pope(We don't know his actual name) beating on all matter of Hell-spawn, getting hot chicks and having to put up with Jesus being his roommate. God has assigned him to defeat the demons from hell who have invaded earth(and live peacefuly enough) who want to kill him.

Some of the demons include:Belaam, a demon who has confronted Pope many times and lost many limbs from fighting him.

Lucifer, the ex-lord of hell.

Mephistopheles, the brother of Lucifer.

The point of this thread is for all of you Kirkman fans to respect the thing that Pope has done, and to have a general discussion about Battle Pope.

The question is, what do YOU think about Battle Pope?

All I remember is, I can't help but think at how funny it was that I was, like, 20 years old, just getting back into comics and I tried Battle Pope because it looked kind of fun and I even talked to Kirkman WAAAYYYY back when about it as he had a BP booth at Pittsburgh Con one year, and now he's Mr. Robert Kirkman. The kids, how they grow so much....

I'm using the "what do YOU think about Battle Pope?" loophole.

I read the first trade, and it's not funny at all. The jokes are a retread of jokes prevalent in many other media, and regardless are overused. The jokes are low and obvious.

I think the only thing I appreciate was the idea that the humans fought back and coexisted with the demons, and that hell is a workplace for demons - the lunch scene.

I've always wanted to check this series out because I'm a big fan of both creators, but I haven't gotten around to it. I'm looking forward to seeing more opinions here.
