Conservative Indie Comics are THE CURE.
THE DISEASE: Mainstream Comics
Have you picked up a comic book of your favorite hero from Marvel or DC lately? Nostalgic memories flood back from the thought of Superman fighting for Truth, Justice, and the American Way! Spider-Man’s nerdy antics were a great relief for those of us that were a few decades ahead of nerd culture becoming “cool.” And Wonder Woman and X-Men’s Storm were kicking tail and taking names long before minority representation was a serious consideration for most industries.
But this is not the hopeful tail of a benevolent and moral guardian. The book in your hands is a zombified shadow of once-great stories, brought back perverted by the darkness. It’s not just the ink that got darker:
Idealistic Judeo-Christian hope and morality have been replaced by Moral Relativism and despair
Respect for the integrity of Characters has been intentionally undercut at every opportunity
The idea of Good ultimately triumphing over evil has been blurred and often reversed entirely
Woke-ism has invaded every franchise and led to the mass acceptance of debauchery, vulgarity, and abuse
THE CURE: Independent Comics
Unlike behemoths like Marvel that are accountable to an even more porcine, leftist overlord (looking at you, Disney!)—Conservative indie comic publishers have the unique ability to tell the truth and return to the art of storytelling through comics as they were in their prime.
Conservative, independent publishers like Terminus Media, Theophany Media, and Kingstone are fighting the culture war on the frontline of entertainment and media consumption.
These are the heroes we need—fighting darkness with light, hopelessness with Biblical hope, and creating truly great works of art inspired by the greatest Creator!
SPOTLIGHT: Star Wars meets Lord of the Rings?
Longtime fans of the Galaxy Far, Far Away have been disappointed to find their beloved universe of brave, moral Jedi disgraced by child-killers and whiny minor lesbian characters. Not to mention the force-adept, morally depraved expanded-universe characters that seem to only exist in order to slaughter people.
Fans hopeful for the much-anticipated Lord of the Rings prequel, Rings of Power are already seeing homosexual themes and polytheism pervert the great world originally conceived by J.R.R. Tolkien, often believed to be heavily influenced by Biblical thought and his own Christian worldview.
THE CURE: DOMINION: Fall of the House of Saul
According to Marvel & Wildstorm comics artist Rob Stotz, the Dominion series “fuses together an inspirational historical storyline with our love for Star Wars nostalgia, creating a world that you just want to play in.”
Featuring the rich, engaging artistry of Dr. Barron Bell and talents of writers and artists like Mark Stancil, Christopher Hunt, and Daniel Hancock—Dominion reads like something C.S. Lewis would have loved: lions, spaceships, and mechs! With Biblical narrative. Jackpot!
SPOTLIGHT: The [REAL] Incredible Hulk
Whether you’re cringing at She Hulk: Attorney at Law, or wondering what The Incredible Sulk (sorry, Credible Hulk as he’s jokingly referred to in memes!) is going to run away from next—look no further. There was a real “strongest man who ever lived” with feats so great and terrible that even Thanos would be impressed.
THE CURE: SAMSON: RISE
From creators Daryl Peninton and M.J. Baker, comes a biblical story of epic proportions. Discover the strength and weakness of the mighty SAMSON. Slayer of thousands. Tie-er of flaming fox tails. (Yes, that was a thing!)
Divinely imbued with supernatural strength. Feared by his enemies. Destined to deliver his people. In his final hours, Samson reflects on the path his life has taken. Where did it all go wrong? And is there a chance of redemption?
Samson is one of the original, real-world superheroes. (Perhaps someday we’ll see a Bible-themed League of Justice with other super-powered heroes? Elijah ran past chariots and the Archangel Michael can kick some serious demon tail, after all!)
DID YOU KNOW?
Samson’s drunken hookup Delilah—also spelled Dalila—in the book of Judges, was a Philistine, of the same nation that would some day unleash the terrifying giant, GOLIATH on the nation of Israel.
SPOTLIGHT: World War III Didn’t Go So Well
Real life is currently deluged with Russian invasion news stories, Chinese posturing, and the United States exacting influence over the world through its many proxies. Even modern blockbuster, Top Gun: Maverick was only a little shy at revealing the enemy’s red stars. Between directed energy weapons (DEWs) and secret government projects hidden in the oceans and launched into orbit around the world, any nuclear attack from a Russian-Chinese axis would likely get shot down and then the full fury of America would pour down from the sky on the attackers. BUT. What if that didn’t go as planned? How would Americans handle being the underdogs again for the first time since we hurled tea into the ocean in King George’s proverbial face? How would we face being occupied rebels?
THE CURE: Radio Free Amerika
Radio Free Amerika is a Glyph Comics Awards-nominated graphic novel about a pirate radio station born after World War III. DJ Moses spins the best hip hop as he broadcasts hope into Russian-occupied United States. Unbeknownst to the enemy, there is code interwoven in the beat. Will Moses be able to coordinate the disorganized resistance and inspire the next American Revolution?
Part post-apocalyptic thriller and part social commentary on today’s world, this brilliant work from Dr. Barron Bell is a real page-turner!
DID YOU KNOW?
Secret codes and ciphers have been instrumental in the winning—and losing of wars since the 1400’s! Perhaps the best example: Hitler’s Germany suffered terrible lossesafter Americans cracked “The Enigma Code” in WWII.
