I wrote about this in my previous post, and a few years back I pointed out how the graphic novel ties itself to the historical violence enacted against African Americans and others in the United States. Today, I … Read More Using the Bible to Justify Blinding Hate in “X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills”

The Continued Importance of “X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills”

by Unknown's avatar

Recently, someone suggested I take a look at Chris Claremont and Brent Eric Anderson’s X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills (1982). After reading, I came away noting the number of similarities between the 36 year old graphic novel and the present moment. In an interview on the 35th anniversary of its publication, Claremont and Anderson, along with interviewer Alex Abad-Santos, talk about the correlations between … Read More The Continued Importance of “X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills”
