The Replacement God

In the mid-1990s, writer-artist Zander Cannon crafted this eight-issue series for Slave Labor Graphics, a meditation on faith and identity set in a world where a young man discovers he may be the literal replacement for a missing deity. Cannon’s distinctive, angular artwork and thoughtful storytelling explore the weight of inherited power and the search for meaning in a surreal, often lonely landscape. A quietly influential cult work from the alternative comics boom, The Replacement God stands as a singular, personal vision that rewards readers with its atmospheric depth.
