Having Fun with the Great Flood: Noah’s Brother’s Ark

Noah's Brother's ArkOn the lighter side of comics and religious adaptations, looks no further then the webcomic Noah’s Brother’s Ark. The story is precisely as billed: Noah’s brother Leon has his own ship, an ark with a jacuzzi, “bilingual puppet show,” and snacks galore — when Bigfoot isn’t eating all of it. While not quite a “scholarly” consideration of the biblical/Qur’anic tale, it does take the proverbial wind out the sails from overblown, overwrought adaptations of the same material, whether that be The God-Damned, Noah, or even Some New Kind of Slaughter.

That said, if your reading of the Great Flood feels lacking in chupacabras, dinosaurs, or aliens, then this treat by Andy Hunter might do the trick. It’s a nice breath of fresh air!
