Willow Wilson, art by Mike Perkins, colors by Mike Spicer, and lettering by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. The guys review this comic in great detail and discuss the themes it presents like process philosophy / theology, sustainability, green energy efforts, the sacredness of life and death, what it means to exist at all, the nature of God's existence, and far more!

Systematic Geekology

Our show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.

Listener Discretion Advised

Occasionally our show will discuss sensitive subject matter and will contain some strong language. Your discretion is advised for this episode.
