With the upcoming release of Second Coming: Trinity’s trade paperback from Ahoy Comics, Screen Rant is excited to exclusively share the entire first issue, free to read. The acclaimed series spans six issues, from an award-winning creative team. In this humorous comic, Jesus Christ finds Himself stuck babysitting a superpowered baby.
Ahoy Comics is preparing for the release of the collected hit miniseries from Eisner Award winner Mark Russell, Richard Pace, and Leonard Kirk. Coming November 15, it collects the third installment of the Second Coming series. Second Coming: Trinity follows after Second Coming and Second Coming: Only Begotten Sun, which also focused on Jesus and his superhero roommate, Sunstar.
A press release from Ahoy says:
The book that turned the comics industry upside-down with “quite a bit of humor…[and] a lot of heart” (The New York Times) is back for its third act. Written and co-created by 2022 Eisner winner Mark Russell (Not All Robots, Billionaire Island), SECOND COMING: TRINITY finds Jesus Christ, the Son of God, tackling his biggest challenge in 2000 years: babysitting a child with super powers! Meanwhile, his roommate – the superhero called Sunstar – faces his greatest enemy, and his own guilt, in a court of law. It’s “The Nanny” meets The Bible – with a superpowered baby.

Second Coming Follows Jesus’ Friendship with a Superhero
The Controversial Series Has a Sincere Moral Message
Ahoy Comics has had several comedic series, including hits like The Gimmick, Justice Warriors, and Billionaire Island, which also featured work from Mark Russell. The first Second Coming series brought Sunstar and Jesus together as roommates, with God intending the two to teach each other more about life and how to live it. The sequel Second Coming: Only Begotten Son featured the origins of Sunstar, while also showcasing an assortment of adventures for its comedic duo.
With its blend of religious and comedic elements, Second Coming is a story that stands out from other comics. Exploring faith, modern morality, hero worship, classic life stages, and self-growth, this multi-arc series is unique in both concept and execution. The life lessons are not preachy, and there is a sincere desire to explore different moral perspectives through contrasting ideas of ‘doing good’ and ‘saving the world.’ With the third series now collected into a trade paperback, now is the best time for fans of the series to update their collections – and for new readers to give Second Coming a try.
Second Coming: Trinity is now available from Ahoy Comics in a collected volume.
