I'm a big fan of WEAPONPRESS.COM's "The United". It's not only a great comic in it's own right, it gathers a fine collection of various Christian Heroes and Heroines from other series and brings them together in an exciting story! Because of this, it's also a great way to learn about other titles you may have missed up to now.

Among the characters that appear is Marc Moran's Conqueris, and I decided to get his graphic novel to see what she and Conqueror were about. It's a great book about a pair of super powered teens and their struggles at school, and as super beings fighting crime. While many of the situations they find themselves in are pretty natural extensions of having secret identities and powers, the writing is good and you don't feel like you've seen this before. I grew quite fond of the characters by the end of this book, which incidentally is a great value, glossy full color pages, and a nice hefty story. While the faiths of the character figure into the story heavily, the story does not pause for a heavy redemptive message, but deals with prayer and the intervention of God into the natural world. Personally I don't think every story needs to contain a complete explanation of the Gospel, but they all need to point to Jesus, and this book certainly does that! So, in closing, read Melchizedek's 'The United' and get yourself a copy of Marc's 'Conqueror and Conqueris'! I think you'll be blessed!
