Theology Paper Excerpt Ft. Jim Corrigan, The Spectre

I haven't posted since I got into Med school...  ...besides that 1 Miracle Monday post, and I'm currently on my second year. I did try making a House of Brainiac series of theory posts but didn't finish it time. I barely catch up on my own pull list in time, often weeks behind and barely knowing what happens in other books these days.  The good news is I do have some ideas lined up that I could make at any time, but in the mean time an encounter with u/Avenging_Spectre on r/Catholicmemes got me to remember this old paper I did for theology class in college. Basically, it was a midterm paper kind of thing that had to have your personal journey, compared to Moses (we studied the Torah/Pentateuch that semester), and someone else of your choice. Most people chose their parents or a saint, and I almost did that too, but I guess I wanted to try something different, and because our professor said we could even choose fictional characters. I also had to cite some theology and phi

Link to Post on Reddit This is a post I've been meaning to make for over a year now. This will be divided into 5 segments after this brief introduction, feel free to read at your own pace: Identity Crisis Man of Tomorrow The Impossible Foe The Sanctity of Life Miracles and Tragedies Pre-Crisis Superman comics are heavily underrated these days. I'm a younger fan myself and it seems most older fans relative to me that I know grew up with early to late Post-Crisis, and so they heavily prefer that era. However, a lot of great Superman writers from that and even the current era like Mark Waid and Grant Morrison greatly prefer that older era, and have themselves criticized and/or retconned elements Byrne introduced in his reboot. So have Geoff Johns and Kurt Busiek in their runs. Because of this, a lot of fans in my generation seem to be following suit in appreciating it. There are plenty of great creators and works in the Bronze Age specifically. Shoutout of course to Cary Bates, an

A New Era for Superman Link to Reddit Post Phillip Kennedy Johnson's Action Comics run and work on Superman in general has been absolutely phenomenal, with a deep understanding and respect for the character combined with ambitious storytelling and world building.  This post is going to break down what he's done so far, from Future State to the epic Warworld Saga, and Return of Kal-El. I don't want to spoil everything but I will break down interesting details and recap the general events to get people to read them and also catch up for what comes next. Speaking of, next will be speculation on what's to come in the new era he's leading with Joshua Williamson on Superman and Dan Jurgens and Leah Williams writing stories in AC as well. There is a new status quo for Clark Kent and his whole family, and Superman has a bright and exciting future ahead of him.   I.
