The End Times of Bram & Ben TP
Armageddon is upon us!  The chosen few have been raptured and taken up to heaven, while millions of others have been left behind.  Ben, one of the unlucky ones, feels he’s a decent enough person and wonders why he was not one of those picked.  But things get even more complicated when his slacker roommate, Bram, accidentally ascends into heaven through a clerical error.  After heaven catches its error and Bram is subsequently kicked out, he starts a viral campaign to get elected as the Antichrist.   The humor is wickedly crude with drug references and bizarre sexual innuendo, but it offers poignant commentary on society and religion as a whole. Broo’s characters are cartoonish with boxy frames, reminiscent of Rob Guillory’s figures in Chew, and create a lighthearted feel, but he masterfully changes gears during the action-packed battles between heaven and hell.  Included with the four original comics in the limited series is a short bonus story fans will surely enjoy.  Fans of Garth Ennis’ Preacher or his limited series Chronicles of Wormwood (2007) will want to check this out. --Peter Blenski
