Review: Samson the Nazirite

This past summer I entered the Gideon Comic contest and won second place. The bloke who beat me is a gentleman by the name of Luis Serrano and I couldn’t have lost to a better artist. We’ve been corresponding a bit and he was kind enough to send me a free copy of his comic Samson the Nazirite.

In this first issue we find Samson towards the end of his days on earth recounting his story to an Egyptian scribe. This issue focuses mostly on Samson’s miraculous birth through his adolescence.

The layout is very professional and the artwork is amazing! The writing is tight and serves the story well. It is told mostly in flashbacks, which is a technique I’m not personally fond of, but it works here.

Only “Issue #1” is available and Serrano is hosting a Kickstarter Project to raise funds to complete the graphic novel. Personally, I want to see this project happen so I’m tossing in a few bucks in hopes of raising funds. Please go check out his pages and consider donating.

Rating: 4/5 (I really liked it)
