MECHA MANGA BIBLE HEROES #2: THE RISE OF DAVID, will be significant in two ways: it is both the beginning of a three issue story arc and the debut of a new artist for the series.
Taking over the art chores for the next chapter of David’s life is Josh Alves. Alves made a name for himself with “The Araknid Kid,” his entry in the Zuda webcomics competition run by DC Comics. Alves is also the creator of the newspaper strips, “Tastes Like Chicken” and “Zeek and Dent,” and contributed a story to the Christian comics anthology, “Parable.”
“Choosing Alves as our next artist made perfect sense,” said Castiglia. “The frantic action taking place in several locales made us think of animation, and Alves has that fluid animator feel in abundance. We consider him a perfect match for the material.”
An example of Josh's art can be seen above- in the foreground, we see Josh's versions of David and Jonathan, who is both Saul's son & David's closest friend. Lurking behind the two heroes, you can get a look at Saul, the major villian of the book as well as a first glimpse of Doag, one of Saul's henchmen who will play a major role in the series.
