- Testament was an American ongoing comic book series written by Douglas Rushkoff with art and covers by Liam Sharp. It was published from February 2006 to March 2008 under DC Comics' Vertigo imprint. There are several key themes to Testament. The story takes place simultaneously in the near future and the biblical past to illustrate the most prominent theme: that history repeats itself. This is done by juxtaposing the two time lines, the purpose of which seems to be to illustrate that religion is a continually evolving, living story that is being written by how we, and specifically the protagonists, live our daily lives. To date, other themes include increasing numbers of fascist governments, human rights, technology, and information economics in the form of a global currency, manna. A brief synopsis of the story to date is as follows. In the near future grad student Jake Stern and his conscientious objector friends fight against the new RFID-based universal draft by attempting to access the collective unconscious through an experimental combination of the hallucinogenic preparation ayahuasca and shared sensory deprivation tank experiences. The near future story is mirrored through the history-repeats-itself idea as biblical narrative based on Torah, various Jewish and Christian apocrypha and elements of other mythologies. One major departure from Judeo-Christian tradition in Testament is the separation of The One True God into two entities who in the story are represented by the God Elijah, who represents the Abrahamic One True God, and a new entity of the authors invention which he calls The One True God. Much of the action in the story is driven by situations and characters being manipulated by the various gods as they battle for dominion over existence.
- Testament - amerykańska seria komiksowa, której autorami są Douglas Rushkoff (scenariusz) i Liam Sharp (rysunki), opowiadająca równologłe historie o podobnym przebiegu, rozgrywające się w czasach biblijnych i w niedalekiej przyszłości. Motywami przewodnimi serii są: powtarzalność wydarzeń, manipulacja świadomością i religia. Głównym bohaterem Testamentu jest student Jake Stern, który wraz z przyjaciółmi walczy ze spiskiem dążącym do ograniczenia świadomości ludzi za pomocą fal radiowych. Równocześnie ukazane są opowieści zaczerpnięte z Biblii, odkrywające, w jaki sposób manipulowano społeczeństwami za pomocą religii. Seria ukazywała się w oryginale w 22 odcinkach nakładem wydawnictwa DC Comics w kolekcji "Vertigo" w latach 2006-2008, następnie zebrano je w 4 tomy i takiej formie po polsku publikuje je wydawnictwo Manzoku.
