Right from the start the personal life of Virgil Hawkins is as essential to the concept as the superhero aspects. There’s the occasional eccentric figurework, but the visual effect of Static surrounded by crackling electricity and flying away standing on his dustbin lid transportation is memorable. Leon’s visual presentation of Static is also eye-catching. For the times, he further benefited from a great costume by artist John Paul Leon, a simple dark blue design with a face mask, topped off with a then ubiquitous X baseball cap. Washington III introduce Static in fine style, establishing both his motormouth character and how he uses his control of electricity over an opening seven pages in which he deals with a teenage gang. It’s not the best of a four year run, but it grabs the attention immediately with its snappy dialogue, smart art and interesting approach. It’s easy to see why from this collection. During the 1990s Milestone introduced a varied and engaging cast of African-American superheroes, but despite high creative values it was only Static who really caught on.

Bird argues, to the contrary, that ontological language and categories were used to describe Jesus as an eternal, true, and unbegotten deity from the earliest decades of the nascent church. The application of ontological categories to Jesus is normally considered something that only began to happen in the second and third centuries as the early church engaged in platonizing interpretations of Jesus. Most studies of the origins of early Christology focus on christological titles, various functions, divine identity, and types of worship. But was this doctrinal position crafted from whole cloth in the era of the great ecumenical councils? How did earlier Christ-followers understand Jesus in light of their convictions about the one supreme deity and in the context of a cultural milieu saturated with gods? In Jesus among the gods, Michael Bird gives renewed attention to divine ontology-what a god is-in relation to literary representations of Jesus. In his divinity, orthodox Christianity claimed, he shared fully in the nature of the uncreated creator God. After several centuries of controversy, the early church came to an uneasy consensus that Jesus was both fully human and fully divine.

Doc Sarvis is a heart surgeon with a thriving medical practice whose wife has died. On reading the novel, however, one finds the novel is much more about the characteristics of mankind, and how their environment and experiences alter those characteristics.

The fundamental value of freedom is what sets us apart from the rest of the world. As a free people, keeping federal power in check is something that should be of concern to us all. Revisionist views of the Constitution by opportunistic politicians and unelected judges with agendas that reinterpret the Bill of Rights to take power away from the people and consolidate it at the federal level threaten the core principles of the Republic. Recent allegations that government agencies may have targeted political opponents should alarm all Americans, regardless of party affiliation.

Through his extraordinarily intrepid cross-country reporting, Draper chronicles the road from January 6 to the 2022 midterms among the Republican base and in the U.S. That is the story Robert Draper tells in Weapons of Mass Delusion. Capitol on January 6, 2021, was a terrible day for American democracy, but many people dared to hope that at least it would break the fever that had overcome the Republican Party and banish Trump's relentless lies about the stealing of the 2020 election. That is not what happened. Instead, “the big steal” has become dogma among an ever-higher percentage of American Republicans. What happened to the Republican Party, and America, during the Trump presidency is a story we more or less think we know. What has happened to the party since, it turns out, is even more disquieting. The disturbing eyewitness account of how a new breed of Republicans-led by Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and Madison Cawthorn-far from moving on from Trump, have taken the politics of hysteria to even greater extremes and brought American democracy to the edge One of The Washington Post's 10 Best Books of 2022 Small (7/8 inch) split at head of spine, very minor rubbing to extremities, otherwise a near fine copy.
