History ComicBook / SecondComing

* GreviousHarmWithABody: Sunstar takes down a villain by throwing the invulnerable Jordan at him.

* GodIsInept: A point is made that God is NotSoOmniscientAfterAll and this has caused a lot of problems for humans. When Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit, Eve asks how they were supposed to know that it was wrong to do it when they couldn't know what "wrong" even was before they are the fruit, only for God to deflect.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Sunstar and his girlfriend are unable to conceive a child because she is human while he is a {{Human Alien|s}}. [[spoiler:Subverted in the end when God blesses them with a child as thanks for being Jesus' friend.]]
** Jesus is briefly arrested and put up for psychiatric evaluation when he claims to be ''the'' Jesus Christ.
** When Sunstar and his girlfriend try to get married, they find out it's illegal almost everywhere due to Sunstar not being human and in fact lacking legal citizenship in his alien identity. They're forced to get married by a Unitarian Church in secret.

* JewsLoveToArgue: A flashback in the second volume has a Rabbi in a protracted debate with his peers because some of them want an oven to be deemed non-kosher for the gross quality of food due to its shoddy construction. He argues that it's not technically against the letter of the Torah, and regularly gets backing from God with calls for a sign if he's not wrong, yet they persist. When God gets fed up and shows himself to deem him correct, they proceed to ask ''God himself'' how closely he's studied the Torah. (Based on an actual Jewish legend from the ''Mishnah''.)

''Second Coming'' is a 2019 comic series written by Creator/MarkRussell and illustrated by Richard Pace, Leonard Kirk and Andy Troy and published by Ahoy Comics.

--> '''God''': I mean, I'll create an eyeball, but I won't stick around long enough to make sure it isn't diseased or near-sighted or whatever. Gotta keep the assembly line rollin'. Know what I mean?\\
'''Sunstar''': So the answer to the eternal question -- how can there be evil in the world if God is all-powerful?\\
'''God''': Laziness. I'm just lazy.

* MundaneAfterlife: Heaven is fairly nice but a pretty mundane place to live. A subplot in the second volume involves a puritanical old man who spent his whole life avoiding anything that he considered "sinful" and is furious when he finds out how ordinary Heaven is. (On the other hand, there's no Hell in the "eternal lake of fire" sense -- "Hell" is the area of Heaven near the city dump, so its residents have to deal with garbage smells and annoying seagulls. One gag panel reveals that Hitler and Stalin are now in neighbouring apartments there.)

When God gets fed up and shows himself to deem him correct, they proceed to ask ''God himself'' how closely he's studied the Torah. (Based on an actual East European Jewish legend.)

* TheDevilIsALoser: Satan/Lucifer Morningstar is portrayed as being a whiny, petulant, and infinitely bitter GreenEyedMonster who hates mankind and Jesus for taking his place as "God's Favorite" and desperately wants to earn God's favor or make humanity look bad in comparison. God and Jesus makes it clear Satan was at best an employee, was never God's favorite, and is just a egocentric jerk who tried to overthrow God because he felt jilted.

* HumansAreFlawed: While years of trying reign humanity in and failing gives God a HumansAreBastards stance and Jesus thinks that HumansAreGood and just needs encouragement, the comic itself veers more into this.
