Scott Braden’s Lost Tales The Kingdom Scott Braden talks to creators Mark Waid, Alex Ross and Gene Ha about DC’s The Kingdom, an epic series that never was from DC in the latest of his popular Lost Tales feature series… fter the phenomenal success of their best-selling King- dom Come prestige format Aseries for DC Comics, the dynamite creative team of Alex Ross and Mark Waid wanted to revisit the events foreshadowing their apocalyp- tic story with the proposed ongoing series The Kingdom. According to Ross: “The genesis of the project was that post-Kingdom Come, DC brass, Paul Levitz, and Mike Carlin met with Mark and me at San Diego in 1996. They only had in mind at the time that we could continue some spillover project of a possible Magog series. I proposed to everybody that the use of Superman in the series was the best thing in our work, and a focused Superman series like Legends of the Dark Knight would be better for our talents. We had initially discussed the title Man and Superman. They definitely wanted a Kingdom Come conceptual tie-in and shot that idea down. After this, DC scheduled a meeting with Mark and me in New York with the editor and Paul to discuss other possibilities, and I plotted behind all their backs a prequel series called The Kingdom. I made a painted teaser piece, as well as character sketches of new versions of Black Adam, Blue Beetle, and Gog, plus images of Superman having nightmares about the Joker. I dumped all this on Mark and DC in person, so I could steer the direction of the potential project.” “Whereas they all agreed to this creative course, they jumped the gun and offered the series art chores to an artist I had no recommendation for or input in. I had been thinking of Gene [Ha] the whole time and know that artwork©DC Comics. All Rights Reserved.

Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths
WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.

Gog and Magog When God Defends Israel from Invasion
Gog and Magog When God Defends Israel From Invasion a series of seven studies by John Edmiston © Copyright, John Edmiston 2007 - may be freely used for non-profit Christian ministry but may not be sold in any way. Study 1 - Introduction To The Prophecy of Gog and Magog The great “Gog and Magog” invasion of Israel and God's devastating judgment of them is found in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 and involves a coalition of envious nations from the “far north” invading a peaceful Israel and being comprehensively destroyed by YHWH. Most evangelical scholars view it is seen as a key event in the End Times. In this first study we need to locate Gog and Magog in the prophetic timeline: 1. It is in the distant future, after a regathering of Israel to the land: Ezekiel 38:7-8 HCSB "Be prepared and get yourself ready, you and all your company who have been mobilized around you; you will be their guard. (8) After a long time you will be summoned. In the last years you will enter a land that has been restored from war and regathered from many peoples to the mountains of Israel, which had long been a ruin. They were brought out from the peoples, and all of them now live securely. 2. The Gog and Magog prophecy of Ezekiel 38 739comes after chapter 37 – the Valley of Dry Bones, which speaks of the national and spiritual restoration of the nation of Israel: Ezekiel 37:11-14 HCSB Then He said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel.

Nicholas M. Railton Gog and Magog: the History of a Symbol
EQ 75:1 (2003),23-43 Nicholas M. Railton Gog and Magog: the History of a Symbol Dr Nicholas Railton is lecturer in German at the University of Ulster. He has published books on the history of the Evangelical Alliance (The German Evangelical Alliance and the Third Reich, 1998; No North Sea. The Anglo-German Evangelical Network in the Middle of the Nineteenth Century, 2000) and articles on Christian responses to the Third Reich. Key words: Bible; Gog; Magog; symbolism. World politics, like the history of Gog and Magog, are very confused and much disputed. (Winston Churchill, 9 November 1951). Introduction Gog from the land of Magog, one of the great enemies of the people of God to appear at the end of the historical process, has vexed and bewildered exegetes for centuries. The prophet Ezekiel seems to speak of an unrepentant nation and its head and communicates God's impending judgement (Ezekiel 38:1-3, New American Stan- dard Bible) : .. And the word of the Lord came to me saying, 'Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal and prophesy against him and say, "Thus says the Lord God, 'Behold, I am against you, 0 Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal.'"' An examination of the historical development of this eschatologi cal idea, this Feindbild, will introduce us to the never-ending attempts to decipher these millennial foes inhabiting the areas to the far north of Palestine. This brief survey shows how the desire to interpret the signs of the times and understand the period in which one is living can, and usually has entrenched religious believers in an inflexible, nationalistic and self-righteous mind-set.

Excerpt from Gog and Magog on Mappaemundi and Early Printed World Maps: Orientalizing Ethnography in the Apocalyptic Tradition by Andrew Gow
Excerpt from Gog and Magog on mappaemundi and Early Printed World Maps: Orientalizing Ethnography in the Apocalyptic Tradition By Andrew Gow Belief in the fast-approaching end of this world and in the Last Judgment, a core component of pre-modern European religion and culture, had a profound influence on mappaemundi and early printed maps. As with many abstract concepts, medieval and early modern Christians gave this set of ideas concrete form in numerous ways. One of the most revealing and useful ‘concretizations’ of apocalyptic angst was the legend of the destroyers Gog and Magog. This medieval tale was based on the New Testament's distortion of “Gog from the land of Magog” (Ezekiel 38-39) in Revelation 20,7-8 as Gog and Magog. The peoples thus invented found their way beyond ecclesiastical circles via popular legends and stories, especially the Alexander cycle. Far from representing only physical geography and a largely legendary ethnology, mappaemundi charted the “history of salvation” (Heilsgeschichte) and the temporal relations of past, present and future via depictions of apocalyptic figures, many of them alien destroyers. The Alexander legend of later antiquity, based broadly on Josephus recounting, tells how Alexander, marching eastward, came upon wild peoples (feras gentes) or unclean peoples (immundas gentes), who ate human flesh and had other equally vile customs. To keep them from destroying the rest of the world, Alexander drove them between two mountains, then asked God to push the two mountains together and imprison them. This story found its way not only into later versions of the Alexander legend, but also into the Quran and the influential Greek Revelations of Pseudo-Methodius, which date from the end of the seventh century.
