Battle Pope Enters Spike’s Comedy Chapel

Robert Kirkman, a popular comic book writer, has built his Battle Pope property into an animated web series. It’s actually a comic that was created by both Kirkman and Tony Moore, an artist who is known for his horror and science fiction work. Spike TV teamed up with Kirkman and Moore to produce the animated series, which can now been seen at spike.com. This Flash-animated series was produced by World Leaders, and animated by Justin Offner, Art Siriamonthep, Yuri Fain and Joe Cappabianca. There’s a pair of “celebrity” voices on the series - Ze Frank plays Battle Pope and Christian Finnegan (VH1’s Best Week Ever) plays Jesus. Here’s an episode _title_d Paying Dues.


You can see a behind the scenes piece over at thecomiccollective.com, where you’ll hear Kirkmain explain that the show is about “superhero Pope and his little sidekick Jesus kicking demon ass.”
