Publishers Blurb:
In issue one, we are introduced to our main characters and their difficult upbringing. The story quickly fast-forwards to the future where we find these very same characters working on a mysterious looking machine.

Three young boys go through an extremely difficult Catholic upbringing, leading to a lifetime of angst and mental anguish. As they reach adulthood, the three make a decision to do something about it - rewrite history. What ultimately ensues is an intense adventure involving time travel, religion, love, and friendship. Readers will experience shocking moments involving Jesus Christ himself in images that may shake the comic book industry to its core. As the story progresses, our protagonist, Matthew Wheaton, will be faced with a series of significant moral decisions. When push comes to shove, Matthew will be forced to decide what is most important to him in his life.

Reviewer Comments:
Project J Is a different tales of sorts. So far in the story a lot is left to the reader to guess on the coming issues. As for issue one, it definitely delivers a good start for what appears to be not only a different type of story, but one told very well. The artwork for this stems along the lines of older comic style art. As for the characters and dialogue. Well there are characters, and dialogue, which doesn’t always happen in the first issue. It seems to me as so far it follows three characters from their years in school to the present day. Where now they all work for a company developing something much more then what it seems.

Other then the decent artwork for the story, and a different type of story arch then we‘re all used to. The tale also seems to focus on some pretty touchy subjects, from a unsupportive family, to religion. It also hints at there being much more to all three of these characters then the events that happened to them in the beginning of the comic. So I for one look forward to reading further issues to see what led up to the events so far, and what craziness is about to happen.
