Background

The comic book is a piece of biblical fiction that follows the story of Judas Iscariot.[1] The book focuses on the conflict between free will and predestination.[2] Bible verses are interspersed throughout the book.[3] The four part mini-series was begun in December of 2017 and released its final part before Easter.[4][3] The story provides a backstory for Judas and provides a motivation for his betrayal of Jesus.[5] Loveless used the Bible and the Gospel of Judas as inspirations for the story.[6]

Part one dives into Judas's reasons for betraying Jesus and shows Judas enter hell after committing suicide.[7] In part two, Judas speaks with Lucifer who explains his reasons for his own actions and why he thinks God has sent various Biblical figures to hell.[8] The series concludes with part four, where Judas finds Jesus in the depths of hell.[9]
