Names: The Avengers
Alien God of the Christian Tribulation
What if the Tribulation that futurists like me see in the book of Revelation takes place? And what if the Antichrist claims aliens are invading the Earth and he’s only resisting them…? (And why would I want to write a story like that?)

Superheroes And Heroes As They Relate To God
In part I think the love of speculative fiction grows from the need in the heart of each one of us for a person stronger, better, more capable, committed, willing to put his life on the line for others. We long for rescue—for ourselves, for our community, for the world. We love the idea that Someone will bring justice when we see no hope, when we are convinced that the bad guys will win, when we see devastation wrecking havoc in the face of our helplessness.

‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’: Black Widow Bashing
Movie criticism from enraged fans and “social justice warriors” may re-prove that humans can’t truly enjoy even small gifts for very long.

On CAPC: ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’ and The Subversion Of Human Nature
Given a chance to share its superhero world on the small screen, Marvel chose to subvert naïve optimism about human government and humanity itself.

Reading Is Worship 12: Desiring God As Fantasy Fans
As we come to the end(?) of this series, I’m curious: How is your God-glorifying, worshipful, speculative-story “singing” voice? What fantastic fiction have you read, seen, or heard that moved you to worship the Author?

Sex In The Story 1: Shooting Up Heroine
Action heroine Black Widow is annoying some fans of the forthcoming “Avengers” film. How come? Is a story’s female character only strong if she is fighting men or bad guys?
