comment
Judas is a 2017 graphic novel written by Jeff Loveness and illustrated by Jakub Rebelka.Judas Iscariot journeys through life and death, grappling with his place in "The Greatest Story Ever Told," and how much of his part was preordained. In a religion built on redemption and forgiveness, one man had to sacrifice himself for everyone… and it wasn't Jesus.

The Anti-Nihilist
 Judas (2017) (Comic Book) / int_17640aa8
comment
The Anti-Nihilist: Judas forgoes all belief in the story of God, his divine plan, and admits the world is just awful, but chooses to believe in Love and Jesus' goodwill as something the world needs because of all its suffering. This eventually leads him to follow Jesus' example as Hell's own friendly messiah.

comment
Easy Road to Hell: Many of the people in Hell were purposefully manipulated by God to be made an example of for his followers. Even Lot's wife, who's only sin was looking back when Sodom was being destroyed, is now frozen forever as a statue in Hell.

comment
Batman Gambit: Judas reasons that God's plan for him to betray Jesus was one. God was counting on Judas' love for Jesus outweighing any anger over being used, and make him a friend to Jesus who would help him escape. Judas notes this, and though he realizes this was part of God's plan (which he finds unjust), he chooses to play his part out of faith in Jesus' message.

Evil Stole My Faith: Judas had this problem after the death of his mother and witnessing the evils of the world. Once Jesus appeared, he found new hope but was discouraged again when Jesus decided not to use his seemingly boundless power to end the evil and suffering in the world.

Necessarily Evil
 Judas (2017) (Comic Book) / int_83f3983b
comment
According to Satan, many of the villains of the Bible (himself, Judas, Goliath, Rameses and Jezebel) were all essentially on the same moral playing field as its many heroes, the only real difference being that God did nothing to help them (often actively manipulating them in the case of Rameses) because he needed a Necessarily Evil to fight for his own plans. The comic does nothing to disprove this, leaving it up to interpretation.

comment
Ambiguously Evil: While it was Satan who whispered into Judas' ear and convinced him to betray Jesus, it is implied by Satan that he is not in full control of his actions, forced into the role of villain by God in order to be made an example of, just as Judas, Goliath, Pharaoh Ramses II and Jezebel were. According to Satan, many of the villains of the Bible (himself, Judas, Goliath, Rameses and Jezebel) were all essentially on the same moral playing field as its many heroes, the only real difference being that God did nothing to help them (often actively manipulating them in the case of Rameses) because he needed a Necessarily Evil to fight for his own plans.

 Judas (2017) (Comic Book) / int_b1dde8fd
comment
Loophole Abuse: How Satan manages to get Jesus damned, thought it's averted in that Jesus was meant to be damned to Hell as part of God's plan. As Satan put it, when Jesus died on the cross he took in all the sins of mankind. As such those sins must be payed for as decreed by God, and Jesus is cast down to Hell to pay for them, much to Jesus' shock.

Forgiveness
 Judas (2017) (Comic Book) / int_b75b35ac
comment
Forgiveness: The flaw in Satan's plan is that, if Judas forgives Jesus/God for his not entirely voluntary part in Jesus' death, Jesus will be absolved of his burden and able to leave hell. In the end, he does.

comment
God Is Flawed: Invoked by Satan who believes God to not just be flawed but Evil, Judas, and eventually Jesus himself as all end up acknowledging how the story of how reality played out according to God's plan is unfair, unknowable, and essentially unjust to many and favorable to others and any God who makes such a reality is flawed in turn.

Messianic Archetype
 Judas (2017) (Comic Book) / int_c98b7916
comment
Messianic Archetype: Amazingly, for a story with Jesus in it, it is Judas who exhibits these traits. His entire time in Hell, the artistic style portrays him with a black Holy Halo similar to how saints and Jesus himself is portrayed in Christian iconography. Jesus himself is deconstructed as the archetype by showing how despite his good intentions and miracles, he does not relate to normal people due to being the Son of God and is pretty ignorant of the feelings of others and their insecurities. By the end of the story, Judas' forgiveness saves Jesus from Hell and Judas ends up becoming a Good Shepherd to the damned, even beginning to resemble him as well.
