Spider-Man. Batman. The X-Men. The Fantastic Four. Comic books and the characters they have spawned have become twenty-first-century mythology. Greg Garrett helps us see the profound depth that can be found in the glossy, fast-paced, and often violent world of comics, graphic novels, and the films they inspire. The book features extensive discussions of Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men. It includes an appendix with descriptions of twenty-five comics and graphic novels Garrett recommends for discussion of spirituality and comics.
“Holy Superheroes! tells us not only that comics are fun but also that they explore and express important values and longings. Greg Garrett writes with the delight of a true fan and the insight of a wise spiritual guide. Highly recommended!”
—Brian McClaren, author of A Generous Orthodoxy and A New Kind of Christian
