Vertigo Comics has posted the first issues of select comics online for free, including BB pal Douglas Rushkoff's groundbreaking Testament. (Listen to our Get Illuminated podcast interview with Doug here.) Testament #1 is available as a free PDF along with a separate PDF of Doug's copious notes explaining the first five issues of the comic and drawing the Biblical and historical connections. From the comic description:
Grad student Jake Stern leads an underground band of renegades that uses any means necessary to combat the frightening threats to freedom that permeate the world. They employ technology, alchemy, media hacking and mysticism to fight a modern threat that has its roots in ancient stories destined to recur in the modern age.
