A. David Lewis explores The Superhero Afterlife
Religion and pop culture collide in A. David Lewis’s surprisingly accessible examination of heaven and hell, salvation and damnation in perhaps the most unexpected of media—superhero comics. From Fantastic Four to Promethea, Lewis traces the idea of the afterlife, our notions of selfhood, and nothing less than the meaning of life (and death) through the pages of a uniquely American genre.
The Superhero Afterlife: American Comics, Literary Theory, and Religion is now available for purchase on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble.
