This book examines the dominant popular culture convention of the superhero, situated within the most significant global event of the last 20 years. Exploring the explosion of the superhero genre post-9/11, it sheds fresh light on the manner in which American society has processed and continues to process the trauma from the terrorist attacks. Beginning with the development of Batman in comics, television, and film, the authors offer studies of popular films including Iron Man, Captain America, The X-Men, Black Panther, and Wonder Woman, revealing the ways in which these texts meditate upon the events and aftermath of 9/11 and challenge the dominant hyper-patriotic narrative that emerged in response to the attacks. A study of the superhero genre’s capacity to unpack complex global interplays that question America’s foreign policy actions and the white, militarized masculinity that has characterized major discourses following 9/11, this volume explores the engagement of superhero films with issues of authority, patriotism, war, morals, race, gender, surveillance, the military industrial complex, and American political and social identities. As such, it will appeal to scholars and students of cultural and media studies, film studies, sociology, politics, and American studies.

This book deals with what Christ defined as the biggest challenge of the last days - deception. Crisis is hitting the earth with increasing intensity and the urgent battle is for sight of God in the midst of it all. This book reveals how God is Sovereign over these events and how they are marshaling the nations towards the fulfillment of His ultimate plan. The Arc of Empires provides a compelling description of the macro-design of God's End-time movements and identifies how we need to position ourselves in order to find hope, confidence and salvation in the midst of the downward spiral of the world's systems.
