He meets Konigsberg, the Not-So-Good Samaritan (a caricature of Jewish filmmaker Woody Allen), to whom Cerebus gives his unique interpretation of the Old Testament,[5] in a mostly textual series called "Chasing YHWH" in issues #282-290.

He then hides the manuscript, and it is implied that nobody will find it for two thousand years, and he has written instructions on how to carry on his dynasty in a final testament for his son.

The Sanctuary is under lockdown due to opposition from a new and even more rabidly "feminist-homosexualist" group led by Shep-Shep's mother, however, whom Cerebus refers to as "New Joanne".

The group favors such "rights" as pedophilia, zoophilia, juvenile recreational drug use and lesbian motherhood, as the result of which social values have undergone a complete breakdown.

Shep-Shep has aligned himself with his mother, who has been conducting genetic engineering experiments, partly with knowledge gained from Cirin's earlier experimentation.

After Shep-Shep leaves, a rejuvenated Cerebus grabs a knife, intending to kill him and his followers, but falls out of bed and breaks his neck, alone, unmourned, and unloved, just as the Judge had predicted.

Jaka, Bear, and Ham beckon to him and he eagerly rushes to join them, thinking they are in Heaven, but he then notices Rick's absence and realizes that the Light may in fact be Hell.

[8] Sim and Gerhard's continuing artistic innovations met with some praise, but the Three Stooges caricatures (and their tangential back-story[9]) left some readers cold, as did Cerebus' take on the Scriptures.
