Another new version of the Bible, based on Japanese comics, gives the Scriptures a futuristic twist. Mecha Manga Bible Heroes, a line of comic books hitting stores in November, is meant to teach and entertain.
“They have robots, advanced technology, and we’re using manga animation, which is the Japanese style of comics,” said Paul Castiglia, managing editor of the publisher JMG Comics. “In Mecha Manga, we’ve changed the setting, but the characters are the same. The names are the same. The themes and morals are the same,” Castiglia said. “We tried to adhere to the Bible as closely as possible.”
The creators hope that the manga version of the Bible will pique the interest of a younger audience, so that they would read the standard editions of the Bible as well.
