Supergods6/26/2023 Comic books are where I’ve always had most fun and freedom as a writer, so it seems only fair to give something back. With respect to the best of the superhero movies, comic books are still where to go if you you’re looking for challenging and sophisticated superhero stories, that still come out on a regular basis. Comic books since 1938 have tested the superhero idea to destruction and back through reconstruction to a triumphant renaissance of popularity in the early 21st century when superheroes began to migrate en masse from their pages to the new mass media environments like cinema and computer gaming. When the new and improved strain of superheroes appeared, they spread like kudzu choking out all other genres. Superhero stories are no longer confined to comic books, but comic books provided fertile soil in which the concept could take root and flourish in a thousand different directions. Here, from the original draft when the ‘Tree of Life’ structure of Supergods was more in evidence, we plant our feet in the physical sphere of Malkuth and dig into the nuts and bolts of constructing a superhero universe. Stringent cuts were requested by my editor and made for final publication.Īs a result, there are entire chapters and sections of the book that have never been seen. My history of superhero stories Supergods was published in 2011 but the original manuscript was double the requested length.
