Monk Comics really picked up business when they launched that New Testament initiative. Not sure about all those costume redesigns though.
It still bugs me when people call the New Testament initiative a total retcon. NT characters, themes, plot points, and even whole story arcs are subtly but remarkably foreshadowed in the Original Testament. The Davidic stuff in particular is long-term plotting and world-building worthy of an Alan Moore.
As for the ‘Kayn’ and Abel illumination above, and speaking of costume redesigns: I think it’s pretty clear from that image that things went bad around the time men’s hemlines inched up past the knee.
And they shall twist their sheaves into cudgels.
I’m with Simpson on the NTI. Remember the words of EIC Jesus: “Behold, I make all things new.”
