Gone Into Rapture does touch on religion and religious themes, but in a funny way and not in a way that beats you over the head with a Bible. Although the title implies that the webcomic is religious, it’s not really. I think the author just has a religious background of some sort.
The humor is along the lines of Amazing Superpowers or Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. It hits about 50% of the time with me, but the jokes did improve as the comic progressed so that’s a good sign. With just a 100 or so strips, it’s a nice sized library, but one you can easily catch up on.
The artwork is basic, but solid enough for gag-a-strip stuff. Some of it is black and white, but I think more than half was in color.
I’d like to see GIR post more consistently and I think the author does himself a disservice by not telling us who he is. But hey, some people like to be mysterious I guess. If you really want to know, I suppose you can ask him on Twitter. Overall, I think a solid entry and worth bookmarking.
