Before You Talk To Christians About Texts Or Events "predating" Christianity, You Need To Understand
before you talk to Christians about texts or events "predating" Christianity, you need to understand that Christians do not view our religion as beginning with the incarnation of Christ. Christians view our religion as beginning with Adam & Eve, continuing with Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, etc., all to foreshadow Christ.
We believe the Old Testament is AS IMPORTANT to the Christian faith as the New Testament. We do not see them as separate stories, they are together telling the same story. We don't view the Old Testament as "the Jewish part" and the New Testament as "the Christian part." To the Christian, the story of the Exodus is a Christian story. To the Christian, the story of the Babylonian Exile is a Christian story.
Christianity is entirely about continuity. The covenant God made with Abraham is fulfilled in the covenant Christ made with us.

I wish one day we would get a mini series of Jason todd Robin and Batman advertures.

the old days..
Eu li a minha primeira comic no readcomicsonline. Tirando o pesadelo que foi os anúncios toda hora, gostei muito da experiência. Algumas coisas que eu notei foram:
1. Comics e mangas são MUITO diferentes. Seja pela estrutura da publicação, seja pela estrutura da história, como os diálogos funcionam, a história. Enfim, tudo
2. Como disse antes, a estrutura da história é muito diferente. Quando estava lendo, tive a mesma sensação que tenho quando vejo um desenho animado. Não sei explicar muito bem, mas o jeito que a estória se desenrola é muito semelhante a de um desenho.
3. Comics tem um fandom muito único. A maioria dos personagens são multimídia, então muitas pessoas conhecem e gostam deles mesmo sem ter lido comic alguma. Em histórias de super heróis de qualquer mídia, o que importa mais é o personagem, não o plot, por isso você tem quinhentos universos diferentes mas os personagens continuam mais ou menos os mesmos. E, também por isso, você não precisa necessariamente ler o material original para ser considerado "fã". Daí que tá a razão do por que, mesmo tendo um impacto tão grande na cultura pop, comics não vendem muito.

This is such a good book. I would like that people outside Brazil (and Brazilians) would know more about our literature.
