As a comic book fan, I was excited and puzzled to see a graphic novel featuring one of my favorite bands, P.O.D. I guess my review begins with, “Why?” Why does P.O.D have super powers? Why is the mysterious character Eternity sought after by aliens and a devilish soul called the Soul Shredder?
The ending was a little lame and pluralistic: Music is the answer? We all have a song to sing? If the effort was to create a clever tool to communicate the gospel to a generation of manga-loving teens, I’m afraid the message was lost in the amazing artwork. To P.O.D: Don’t quit your day job—keep rocking.
