Vote for 'Testament'

Last year, I wrote a short item for Ideas about "Testament," a fascinating new comic book written by Douglas Rushkoff. Rushkoff is a media theorist, novelist, business consultant, and all-around public intellectual. "Testament" is in some ways a spinoff of his book "Nothing Sacred," in which he claims that Judaism is an "open source" religion that encourages all of us to actively create the narratives that give meaning to existence.

Rushkoff announced yesterday that "Testament" has been nominated for a prestigious Eagle Award. He's asking readers to cast a vote for it here. "Testament" is nominated in Category no. 14: Favourite New Comicbook. I just voted.

PS: For Favourite Comics Writer/Artist (Category no. 2), one absolutely must vote for Darwyn Cooke. The guy is a genius.
