Trinity #2

An outstanding homage to Alan Moore’s Dark Age classic “For the Man Who has Everything,” using the same themes towards a decidedly different take on the Trinity

Action Comics #965

Between Jurgan finally hitting his stride and Segovia proving his chops as well, Action Comics is beginning to make me a believer in Rebirth.

Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders

Return of the Caped Crusader is a truly magical movie, one which transports audiences back to afternoons after school and sunny summer mornings spent watching West and Ward, the only difference being that the film is funnier, campier, more absurd than ever before. This is the Bright Knight at his brightest.

Justice League #6

Hitch has yet to prove himself to be a bard worthy of writing the lays of our culture’s greatest gods and heroes

Black Liberation Theology in Marvel’s Luke Cage

Every bit as much as Daredevil is a hero is shaped and defined by Irish Catholicism, so too is Luke Cage cut from Black Liberation Theology.

Action Comics #964

Christians view Jesus as God with His split-curl slicked back and black-rimmed glasses obscuring His face… As such, Action Comics these last few months has perfectly paralleled my own personal pilgrimage.

Action Comics is finally addressing one of the more interesting plot points introduced in Rebirth, namely the co-existence of Clark and Kal as man and Superman, respectively.
