Welcome to Comics Are My Religion, a look at theology through the lens of comic books. There are some basic ground rules about engaging in respectful dialog about religion in this column.
The Comics Are My Religion Podcast returns this month, with a great conversation with John W. Morehead. Who’s he, you ask? First, he’s awesome. Second, he is the director of the Western Institute for Intercultural Studies & Director of the Evangelical Chapter of the Foundation for Religious Diplomacy.

John also runs a cool website called TheoFantastique.com, which explores the sacred in everything from horror to sci-fi to fantasy, in every form of media imaginable. Go check out his stuff!
