Batman is one of the most recognized and popular pop culture icons.
Appearing on the page of Detective Comics #27 in 1939, the
character has inspired numerous characters, franchises, and
spin-offs over his 80+ year history. The character has displayed
versatility, appearing in stories from multiple genres, including
science fiction, noir, and fantasy and mediums far beyond his comic
book origins. While there are volumes analyzing Batman through
literary, philosophical, and psychological lenses, this volume is
one of the first academic monographs to examine Batman through a
theological and religious lens. Theology and Batman analyzes Batman
and his world, specifically exploring the themes of theodicy and
evil, ethics and morality, justice and vengeance, and the Divine
Nature. Scholars will appreciate the breadth of material covered
while Batman fans will appreciate the love for the character
expressed through each chapter.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to its knees. When
we weren't sheltering in place, we were advised to wear masks, wash
our hands, and practice social distancing. We watched in horror as
medical personnel worked around the clock to care for the sick and
dying. Businesses were shuttered, travel stopped, workers were
furloughed, and markets dropped. And people continued to die. Amid
all this uncertainty, writers and artists from around the world
continued to create comics, commenting directly on how individuals,
societies, governments, and markets reacted to the worldwide
crisis. COVID Chronicles: A Comics Anthology collects more than
sixty such short comics from a diverse set of creators, including
indie powerhouses, mainstream artists, Ignatz and Eisner Award
winners, and media cartoonists. In narrative styles ranging from
realistic to fantastic, they tell stories about adjusting to
working from home, homeschooling their kids, missing birthdays and
weddings, and being afraid just to leave the house. They probe the
failures of government leaders and the social safety net. They dig
into the racial bias and systemic inequities that this pandemic
helped bring to light. We see what it's like to get the virus and
live to tell about it, or to stand by helplessly as a loved one
passes. At times heartbreaking and at others hopeful and humorous,
these comics express the anger, anxiety, fear, and bewilderment we
feel in the era of COVID-19. Above all, they highlight the power of
art and community to help us make sense of a world in crisis,
reminding us that we are truly all in this together. The comics in
this collection have been generously donated by their creators. A
portion of the proceeds from the sale of this volume are being
donated by the publisher to the Book Industry Charitable Foundation
(Binc) in support of comics shops, bookstores, and their employees
who have been adversely affected by the pandemic.
