X-Men - God Loves, Man Kills - World's Finest True Believers 53

Published: May 24, 2021, 7 a.m.

In this episode, Chris welcomes Omar AKA “The Uncanny Omar” from the YouTube channel “Near Mint Condition” to explore his favorite graphic novel of all-time, “X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills”. Chris Claremont and Brent Anderson craft what many consider to be the greatest X-Men story of all time whose themes and message continues to remain relevant 39 years later. In 1982, writer Chris Claremont was in the midst of his legendary run on “Uncanny X-Men", changing the comic landscape forever and creating a new standard for superhero fiction! Originally published in issue 5 of “Marvel Graphic Novel”, Claremont gave the X-Men a threat that they couldn’t defeat with mutant powers alone: Reverend William Stryker. This televangelist turned his vast fortune and his small army of followers against mutants with words that inspired fear and hatred. Stryker was skilled at twisting scripture to justify his deadly vendetta, and he inspired his audience to follow his example. The X-Men are force to team-up with their most bitter enemy, Magneto, in order to stop Reverend Stryker and his paramilitary unit, The Purifiers, before their violent crusade can claim any more mutant lives.
