i was blown away by this book. the collaboration of artists make this one of the best visuals i have read in a long time.
Jim Krueger weaves a tale that is as old as human history and brings a fresh take on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking art; fresh take on an old story, August 19, 2006

I am not sure what the fellow who found the artwork in Testament "rushed" is talking about. His feedback almost made me not purchase this book, but I am ecstatic that I did. In my 34 years, I've not seen a more breathtaking graphic novel than this one. Page after page of stunning, lush visuals - deep, challenging artwork that draws you in. This is not the cheap, flashy artwork of today's disposable comics. This book is a visual feast. I bought the book expecting to be underwhelmed by the story and the artwork - I bought "Samson" by the same publisher, and it was lacking. But this is the finest collection of graphic art in my collection.

The story is fairly well-told, with some fresh ideas, but is mostly a breezy way to tie all the stories of the Old Testament together. That in itself is a worthy goal, and it is pretty successful. But the real selling point for this book is the art. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful art! I have rarely seen better art in comics - and I've read a lot of them!

The story is a bit disjointed- it tries to squeeze the entire Old Testament into around 100 pages- but interesting. It might be confusing for somebody completely unfamiliar with the Old Testament, but even a passing familiarity should be enough to follow the story.
