http://www.comicbloc.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-16070.html Researcher December 9th, 2005, 02:29 PM Hello! I'm a Teaching Assistant at a major college and I am doing some research for a book being written by the professor I work for with the working title Modern Morality Plays: The Religion of Comics. Essentially, the book will discuss how comics have become the primary form or morality storytelling much in the way that Bible studies were in the past. One of my students suggested I come here and ask a few questions, as this forum is reportedly quite active. If you wish to participate, please provide the following: Age Gender Religious Affiliation And answer the following questions: 1. Do you feel that comics reflect your moral values? 2. What are the primary moral values reflected in comics? 3. Do you feel that comics reflect any religious philosophy in particular? I'll probably have more questions later, but this should get us started. Jeffrey Neary December 9th, 2005, 02:37 PM Jeffrey Neary 33 Male Catholic 1. Do you feel that comics reflect your moral values? Yes, for the most part. Putting aside the acts that fall in the midst of a gray area good acts are deemed as such and evil acts are not cheered. There are those who are willing to put to do what needs to be done to protect and serve. With regard to the gray area, the notion that such acts force us to think about crime and punishment or the motivation of said actions are in line with what I believe. 2. What are the primary moral values reflected in comics? Classic model of Good and Evil. Actions and consequences. Do the ends justify the means or are these creatures who take the law into their own hands serving the greater good. 3. Do you feel that comics reflect any religious philosophy in particular? Absolutely. Isn't Superman a bit like Moses. (Esp the first movie). Cannot Spiderman appear as a bit of a Christ Symbol. Hawk and Dove...Cain and Abel.

Redemption--Green Lantern: Rebirth, characters--Spectre, Batman, Spider-Man B. Faith--Icons: Nightcrawler, character--Nightcrawler C. Humility--Green Lantern: The Road Back (even though it's not a favorite story), character--Kyle Rayner, Tim Drake D. Hospitality--the Excalibur Storyline where Kurt mentored the crazy gang (I can' pull my old issues if needed); character--Aunt May E. Mercy--characters--Dove
