Gritty Comics

When I started reading comics over twenty years ago, there was a trend to make very character more "realitsic" by making them go through some sort of trial. Superman died and came back, Batman broke his back, Aquaman loses a hand, and Green lantern went crazy. These are just a few characters that went through some change to engage new readers. While change can be a good thing, sometimes it can go to far,and people will long for the days of yester year. In comics none of these changes stuck. In church, change will happen, but we have to make sure we keep the things that bring us close to God.
