My friend Jason is a very talented cartoonist, and I’ve been excited by his Jesus Comic project since he gave me a sneak preview. But it has now hit the iPhone for the world at large to download and enjoy!

Now as much as I’d like one, I can’t really justify the expense of an iPhone, and so can’t download it myself. But I’ve seen the artwork and it’s a really cool way of telling the story of Jesus. It’s almost entirely visual (though you can bring up some summary text on the chapter heading panels). It’s very fun and creative, a great way bringing the Jesus story onto new technology.

As a free taster, you can download the first chapter, Nativity, which tells the Christmas story. Now, if I can just convince myself that I actually really, really need an iPhone or iPod Touch, then I’ll download it in a shot!

You can download the Jesus Comic from the iTunes app store, and there’s also a Jesus Comic Facebook page where you can leave comments and stuff.
