WE FINALLY got around to watching two of the recent movies in the Superman franchise. (We don’t go to theaters much anymore.) It reminded us how obvious it is that pop culture is doing a far better job of selling theology than the church.
Unfortunately, the counterfeit theology of the comics and Hollywood has been indoctrinating Americans for more than half a century.
We have no excuse. We own the guidebook to the supernatural.
If you’d like an alternative to Hollywood’s offerings, we recommend Brian Godawa’s Chronicles of the Nephilim and his Chronicles of the Nephilim for Young Adults.

WATCHMEN opened #1 at the box office last weekend after months of delay due to a legal battle between Fox and Warner Brothers over the distribution rights. No wonder; the book on which the film is based is the most influential graphic novel of the last 25 years.
Author Alan Moore has also penned the graphic novels-turned-movies V For Vendetta, From Hell, and he created the ceremonial magician character John Constantine for the comic Hellblazer, which was adapted into the Keanu Reeves vehicle Constantine.
Taylor Kent, AKA the Snarky Avenger, is a longtime fan and critic of comics and graphic novels, and he joined us this week to discuss the themes and influence of graphic novels on our culture.
