Angela Melick’s Wasted Talent

After graduating high school Angela Melick had to choose between art or engineering. She chose both.

Batman and Robin

Despite the title, this is really a Robin solo adventure. Can he hold his own against a Talon? Well, he was raised as an assassin himself, you know.

Green Lantern

Every hear the phrase "this changes everything"? This time, it might actually be true.

The Avengers

From the start of the movie, to the very end, The Avengers is a thrill ride, but also an emotional journey. You laugh, you cry, you get angry, and you jump with joy. It is truly an epic adventure.

Detective Comics

Will the Night of the Owls crossover bring some positive momentum to the lagging Detective Comics series? I hope so, because this issue was pretty good.

Animated Film in Theaters, on DVD

A "laugh-filled, heart-warming" 3D animated Christian tale The Lion of Judah will premiere on 3 June in theaters across the USA. The Lion of Judah is a "re-imagining" of the story of Jesus Christ's crucifixion and resurrection as seen through the eyes of a cast of stable animals. The main character is a lamb named Judah who has been selected as the sacrifice for the Passover feast. This forces his stablemates to "leave their cozy barn, embarking on an action-packed series of ...

CCAS at Comic-Con

The 'Spirituality in Comics' Panel from San Diego Comic-Con 2011

In comics, movies, and even Broadway musicals like “The Book Of Mormon”, spiritual themed work seems to be unexpectedly coming from the least religious of sources.

Panelists including SERGIO CARIELLO (The Action Bible), RUSSELL DALTON (Marvelous Myths: Marvel Superheroes and Everyday Faith), BUZZ DIXON (Serenity/Hits & Misses), and MIKE SHIELDS (Blue Blazes) discuss how a new generation of comics and pop culture are exploring timeless truths and also address the question “Is Mass Media Our New Church?”
