Battle Pope is an independent superhero comedy comic book series created by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore, which was published by their own small press company under the moniker of Funk-O-Tron originally in 2000.

[2] The series was reprinted in color by Image Comics in 2005, with plans to possibly continue it with new stories after collecting the original material.

[3][4] The book tells the tale of a hard drinking, womanizing Pope, condemned by God for his own evil ways, who is called to action to save Saint Michael, with the help of Jesus H. Christ, becoming mankind's final hope in a world overrun by demons following the Rapture.

[5] The opening panels show Pope Oswald Leopold II sitting in a bar drinking and reminiscing.

Pope dispatches the duo, but they were not beaten and summon all of Earth's corpses to form a giant, writhing zombie monster.

After killing the zombies, Pope and Jesus are once again attacked by Belaam, now with a robotic arm, but he is easily defeated.

They then discover Lucifer's plan: to steal Saint Michael's halo and combine it with his own demon horns, expanding his powers to godlike proportions.
