Mark Millar's "Chosen"
“We've got a twelve year old boy and his small social circle coming to terms with his incredible destiny just like Ultimate Spider-Man, but the character of Jesus has, without sounding crass, really been Ultimized here in the sense that he's been stripped back to basics after 2000 years of conflicting continuity and put back in touch again with a younger audience,” Millar said. I'm only half-smiling as I say this. You'll see what I mean when you read the book.

”Chosen is a three issue series that kicks off with this premise and explores where he and his family go from here. It's Stand By Me meets the Book of Revelations as a kid finds out he's the real deal and has a terrifying destiny ahead of him. This is Harry Potter for fundamentalist Christians".
