12-years-old are the intended audience. If you like superheroes,
large explosions and great artwork, you will fall in love with this
novel The first story is called Rebirth, the Origin Story. The
origin of Maccabee Lady revolves around a beautiful Israeli Defense
Force (IDF) nurse named Lt. Sophia Kellman from Tel Aviv-Yafo. She
has several dreams about a mysterious capped woman and the burning
bush. This causes Sophia Kellman to travel to the mysterious Mt.
Matza in Egypt's age-old Sinai Desert region. Kellman was struck by
a thunderbolt, and this turns her into Maccabee Lady, a super
powered shoftim (or judge) who defends the state of Israel.
Maccabee Lady's new powers include super strength, enhanced
fighting ability, and invulnerability. She also has the fighting
experience of the ancient Israelite warriors in an energy blast
called "the Hashem Wave." It contains the combined fighting power
of the Biblical Warriors Moses, Joshua, and Deborah in a gigantic
energy blast. She is not only a superhero that fights to defend the
state of Israel and defend historic Jewish values, but also to
defend the world from evil people like Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad, and the Political leader of Hezbollah Hassan
Nasrallah. They threaten the peace between the countries of Israel
and Lebanon and peace around the world. The second story is called
Mkab. In the Mkab story, an archeologist is transformed by a magic
ring he finds into the mutant called Mkab. Mkab mortally wounds the
world's greatest superhero named Dreadnaught. Mkab turns the Allied
Powers into a superpower army. They take over Mexico and Central
America. Mkab starts a new Atec-like fascist regime. President
George W. Bush nukes Mexico City. Macabee Lady fights Mkab in outer
space. The spirit of Dreadnaught assists Macabee Lady, and they
defeat Mkab. There are five additional stories in the graphic novel
which involve the superhero activities of Maccabee Lady - Free
Gilad, Nuclear Crisis, Lulov, The Web of Akavesha, and Prime
Minister. Maccabee Lady ends with a Gallery Of Covers. To sum it
all up, Maccabee Lady is for people who love Israel and who love a
good superhero fight. Throughout history, Jews have faced many odds
and adversaries. Some of them, for example, the Ancient Egyptians,
the Philistines, the Seleucids, and the Nazis, tried throughout
history to eliminate the Jewish people, seize their territory,
militarily defeat them, and see them assimilated, or eliminated.
Their right to exist has been challenged again and again. Again and
again, people like Sophia Kellman have defended the Jewish people
from those who wanted to bring harm to them. People like Hitler or
Antiochus Epiphanes IV, ruler of the 1st Century Seleucid Empire
and nemesis of the Maccabee Rebels, wished to eradicate them,
culturally erase them, or assimilate them.
