American Jesus Library Edition

Illustrated by Peter Gross
From the best-selling, award-winning creator Mark Millar (Kick-Ass, King of Spies, The Authority, Jupiter's Legacy, Kingsman) comes the entire American Jesus graphic novel saga, collected for the first time in a stunning oversized hardcover format.

A child discovers his incredible destiny as the savior of all mankind. Another finds out he was born to stop him, and usher in the thousand-year rule of his father Lucifer.

This is the story of two young children who discover they have a tremendous destiny, to face one another in the desert of Megiddo when they are older. One is the returned Jesus Christ, the other is the Antichrist, and the whole world hangs in the balance.

Collects American Jesus Volume 1–3.
Mark Millar is a NEW YORK TIMES best-selling author, Hollywood producer, and now president of his own division at Netflix after selling his publishing company to the world’s biggest streamer in 2017. He also signed on to exclusively create new comics, TV series, and movies in-house as a senior executive.

Adaptations of JUPITER’S LEGACY, SUPERCROOKS (in the form of a Japanese anime), and AMERICAN JESUS (adapted as THE CHOSEN ONE) have already been released. THE MAGIC ORDER, REBORN, SHARKEY THE BOUNTY HUNTER, PRODIGY, KING OF SPIES, EMPRESS, MPH, HUCK, and a live-action SUPERCROOKS are being put together now.

Previously, Mark worked at Marvel Comics, where he created THE ULTIMATES, which was selected by TIME magazine as the comic book of the decade and described by screenwriter Zak Penn as his major inspiration for the movie THE AVENGERS. Millar also created WOLVERINE: OLD MAN LOGAN and Marvel’s CIVIL WAR. CIVIL WAR was the basis of the third Captain America movie, and OLD MAN LOGAN was the inspiration for 20th Century Fox’s LOGAN.

CIVIL WAR remains Marvel’s biggest-selling graphic novel of all time, and his seminal SUPERMAN: RED SON is the highest-selling Superman graphic novel in history. In 2020, RED SON was also released as an animated feature.

Mark has been an executive producer on all adaptations of his books and worked as a creative consultant to 20th Century Fox on their Marvel slate of movies.
