THE ANGEL HAS LANDED!
Messiah: Origin is a beginning, a foundation, the remarkable starting point for a remarkable life. Here is a graphic novel translated directly from the ancient Scriptures. Now see the Biblical narrative unfold visually, pulling together the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John into a single story.

"...Kai Carpenter's artwork truly upstages previous, more "comic-booky" efforts. The Annunciation, the Nativity and the childhood of Our Lord come to life in refreshingly un-Christmaslike fashion, full of dramatic close-ups, flesh-toned warmth and luminous gazes. The visuals feel like stained glass without the lead borders and alternate so effectively between celestial epiphanies and mundane earthiness that some scenes are humbling just to look at."
