Summary

Post-Apocalyptic Comics explores our fascination with dystopian societies and survival in the face of societal collapse, as portrayed in comics and graphic novels. The book examines how these narratives, often dismissed as mere entertainment, actually reflect our deepest cultural anxieties. Comics offer a unique lens through which to examine human resilience and the moral dilemmas that arise when civilization crumbles, providing a powerful commentary on our values and fears. One intriguing facet is the evolution of survival strategies depicted, ranging from lone wolf approaches to collaborative community building after catastrophic events. The study analyzes the representation of dystopian societies and the power structures they create. It also considers how these narratives function as cultural barometers, reflecting anxieties related to nuclear proliferation, environmental degradation, and global pandemics. Using a diverse range of comic books and graphic novels and balancing formal analysis with engaging writing, the book progresses from introducing core concepts to exploring survival strategies, dystopian representations, and the ethical quandaries faced by characters. Ultimately, the book aims to provide a deeper understanding of the cultural significance of post-apocalyptic comics and their relevance to contemporary issues.

Mazaltob - A Novel

Raised in the Judería or Jewish quarter of Tetouan, Morocco, at the turn of the twentieth-century, sixteen-year-old Mazaltob finds herself betrothed to José, an uncouth man from her own community who has returned from Argentina to take a wife. Mazaltob, however, is in love with Jean, who is French, half-Jewish, and a free spirit. In this classic of North African Jewish fiction, Blanche Bendahan evokes the two compelling forces tearing Mazaltob apart in her body and soul: her loyalty to the Judería and her powerful desire to follow her own voice and find true love. Bendahan's nuanced and moving novel is a masterly exploration of the language, religion, and quotidian customs constraining North African Jewish women on the cusp of emancipation and decolonization. Yaëlle Azagury and Frances Malino provide the first English translation of this modern coming-of-age tale, awarded a prize by the Académie Française in 1930, and analyze the ways in which Mazaltob, with its disconcerting blend of ethnographic details and modernist experimentation, is the first of its genre—that of the feminist Sephardi novel. A historical introduction, a literary analysis, and annotations elucidate historical and cultural terms for listeners, supplementing the author's original notes.

Many people are aware of the injustices Black Americans have suffered over the centuries but feel powerless when it comes to repairing the harm done. 
 
 
 
The inequality remains even after laws and policies have been corrected. Calculating and implementing financial reparations will require large-scale government action, which can feel out of reach or overwhelming for the average person. Robert Turner provides an accessible guide for individuals and groups wanting to influence significant institutional action while also acting on their own to repair the effects of racial injustice in our communities, churches, and spheres of influence. Dividing into categories of individual, social, institutional, and spiritual repair, Turner offers the longest list of reparations currently published, with more than one hundred actions listeners can begin practicing and advocating for to help balance economic injustice, undo hurtful decisions from decades past, and rally public support for bold and principled legislation.

Captain America assembles the Avengers. Iron Man battles Thanos. Luke Skywalker duels Darth Vader. Aragorn charges Mordor. Batman confronts the Joker. Superman destroys Doomsday. Wonder Woman defeats Ares. We are captivated. Why?

We are entranced by stories that take us to a world where heroes fight evil and sacrifice themselves for a greater good because we long for our world to be free from pain, suffering, and struggle. That's the real hope and promise of Jesus—when He returns to set things right.


In Hollywood Heroes, you'll see how:


- Your favorite movie heroes are patterned after the Ultimate Hero—Jesus of Nazareth
- Big screen stories parallel the real-world fight between good and evil
- Movies and characters can impart inspiring biblical life lessons on justice, purpose, courage, strength, sacrifice, faith, and love

Hollywood Heroes begins with the true story of a US Navy SEAL who faced evil and sacrificed himself to save his teammates. Authors Frank and Zach Turek then use Spider-Man's origin story to address the question: "Why would a good God allow evil?" You'll then read how seven movie franchises—Captain America, Iron Man, Harry Potter, Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Batman, and Wonder Woman—portray the battle against evil, providing a set of modern-day parables that reveal truths about God and His mission for us.
