They called me God
A comical story of a man called God who stranded five million years ago on our Earth. His life became an endless task of tweaking the genomes of great apes to create a race in his image. Exhausted in our Stone-Age, using cryo-sleep to refresh, he overslept and woke up recently in Wiltshire England to a new world. An epic tale told in 30000 words and 600 images.5-star review by author Jamie Michele.They Called Me God is a book that I went into having no idea what it would be and walked away with a massive smile on my face.The classic comic book style is a brilliant format. The artwork is bold, and the way Simonar creates an entire arc and storyline in this media style is a testament to his immense skill as a writer and, more importantly, a true creative. There is intelligent wit and satire, but there is also a real, fundamental basis of influence and survival, and the collision of old knowledge, new customs, and tolerance for both. God is, as one would expect, subject to exploitation, even indirectly. The highlight for me is the invocation of Emma Stone. Overall, this is an original and thoughtful work of art that absolutely promises readers a distinctive reading and visual experience, and I would give it a whole bucket of stars if I could. Very highly recommended.
