The Gospel according to superheroes : religion and pop culture
Investigating such topics as what comic books have to say about Armageddon, and whether some story lines express the rejection of science in favor of faith, Oropeza (biblical studies, Azusa Pacific U.) and contributors find both breadth and depth amongst the bright colors and rippling muscles of this most popular cultural artifact. Exploring how superheroes seek to regain paradise, they examine the various teams of mutants who won World War II, the god-human hybrids of the cynical 1960s
