Wormwood is the anti-Christ, no way around it, his dad is Satan and his demonic powers help him fit right into New York. His best friend is Jesus, who is a black, mentally challenged man that just isn't performing many miracles these days. The pesky Armageddon is coming right up, and it doesn't look like Pope Jacko is going to be any help in stopping it.

About the Author

Garth Ennis, a critically acclaimed writer from Northern Ireland, has been working in the comic book industry for over 20 years, and is most easily recognized as the creator of Preacher, and long-time contributor to Marvel's Punisher. Perhaps his greatest success in recent years has been CROSSED, a horror survival series published by Avatar Press, in which the world has been overrun by sadistic homicidal maniacs. The CROSSED property has been optioned for film by Kevin Spacey’ s Trigger Street Productions. Other Avatar publications by Ennis include STREETS OF GLORY, CHRONICLES OF WORMWOOD, and 303.

Hilarious and unlikely characters, sharp political satire, and a talking rabbit: How could it not be amazing?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

One of the funniest things I have ever read. Before getting to the third page I had already busted out laughing so loud it scared my roommates. This is one of Ennis' more political and satirical works, but its probably the funniest. From beginning to end the humor is audacious. Of course like most Ennis books, this one is not for the faint of heart either. The books pokes fun at about everything, even the comic industry. Ennis is a legend and nearly everything he is made is worth reading. This one is worth owning. Also, one of the main characters friends is a sarcastic talking rabbit. How could anyone fit that into a comic? Well Ennis can make just about anything happen.

UH-MAY-ZING!!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 9, 2010

Verified Purchase

A masterpiece through and through. Ennis takes you into a world (based on another fictional world. aka, the Bible) where things aren't as any human would've imagined. How he came up with this can only be explained by a mathematical equation that I can't even understand. Anyone who CAN read, SHOULD read this. In fact; I think they use in now to heal persons affected by all types of ailments. I know it'd heal me!

So in conclusion, if you even THINK you may like it, buy it because you WILL like it. I really can't say any more except I can't wait until the next WhateverCon so I meet and thank him for his wonderful work.

P.S. Would definitely be a book that the WestBorough Baptist Church would raise hell over. Lotsa Gore and blasphemous material.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 6, 2017

[this review was originally posted to goodreads on 1/8/17] this is really probably more like 3.5 stars but i'll be generous and round up because i REALLY love the idea of this, but as usual ennis is just ...well ...himself i guess [judging from what i remember from preacher and his punisher runs]. like it's a really solid idea and plot and whatnot but it's that thing where it kind of starts out as satire/parody but then goes into stupid/offensive stuff just for shock value and not because it has any kind of actual plot relevance or value. and it's not even actually shocking it's just like [sigh] again? seriously? which they kind of even touch on in the graphic novel but i'm like dude you're not being meta you're just being a jerk really. but really A+ for general concept and also for nostalgia value - i first read this like 10 years ago. also A+ for not making jesus white, it's such a low bar to set and yet ...

NOT FOR THE EASILY OFFENDED

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 28, 2008

I'm not deeply religious but I have to admit to being a little shocked and offended by some of the scenes in Chronicles of Wormwood. But after reading through the entire graphic novel, that eventually subsided. Still, seeing the Pope getting a hummer from a topless nun is something I'll probably not soon forget. Wormwood is the Anti-Christ but he's really not such a bad guy. He's decided to pass on bringing the Apocalypse to the world and has decided to let humans choose their own path in life. This does not go over very well with his dad...you know...Satan! The Big S has decided to force his ungrateful son's hand by bringing about certain prophecies and kidnapping Wormwood's best friend, Jay. Jay is none other than Jesus who has refused his own destiny of dying for our sins again. Jay isn't all there, a result of a cracked skull courtesy of a racist cop. Jay doesn't quite remember who he was but knows he wants to do good.

Garth Ennis's always stinging satire is at its religious-bashing best in this book. While the Catholic Church takes the brunt of Ennis' barbs, he shares his repulsion with Protestants, Jews, Muslims, Hindus; et al. Ennis is espousing a greater goodness for people, unfettered by the constraints of organized religions. It's all a bit heavy-handed although quite funny as well. Muslim martyrs do indeed go to Heaven and get 72 virgins when they die...although those virgins turn out to be 72 infants, constantly in need of feeding and changing. I kind of like that! Also the road to Hell isn't paved with good intentions...it's paved with mimes. Now that's just gold! Ennis is joined by his usual Avatar Press art partner, Jacen Burrows who remains a very underrated and under appreciated artist. Chronicles of Wormwood is sure to offend and good God don't let your mom see it!

I discovered Garth Ennis reading the Boys The Boys Definitive Edition HC: 1 and when ive reached the Volume 10 i decided to go and search for older work by him, Wormwood is one of those, and is really a good graphic novel, the duality between good and evil, the antichrist and jesus...everything is perfect, so funny and in the same time a bit disturbing! Keep up with the good job Garth, and thanks for the fun ride!

Dark religious comedy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 31, 2008

Verified Purchase

Danny Wormwood, the Brit Anti-Christ in New York is just trying to produce some cutting edge TV whilst also avoiding the oncoming storm that his dad and his best mate Jay's dad are trying to brew up.

We're taken on a roadtrip to heaven and hell along with Danny's other travelling companion, his talking rabbit Jimmy. Put it this way, he ain't no Harvey.

Some great observations on the absurdities of religion with a debauched Australian pope, a nigh on nymphomaniac Joan of Arc and a fantastic joke with a suicide bomber who did make it into heaven.

More genius Ennis. If you got Preacher, you'll love this.

Obviously all adult themes and rendered beautifully by Jacen Burrows.
