Angels in Comic Books?

Sure, why not? Angels have appeared in novels, movies, and television movies and series for decades. Artists have imagined these beings in paintings for hundreds of years. While angels have been portrayed in comics from time to time, it is unlikely that they have been depicted exactly as they are in Adventures of Men & Angels. Our Angelic Four play a prominent role in the story but we would hesitate to call them the stars of the book. They act as, more or less, hosts. They dominated the first issue of the series, but you will get to see more in issue two about the human characters in the tale. The storyline will continue to be a story within a story. We’ll see what the human characters are doing as well as the unseen characters in the angelic realm and how the two stories work together as one dramatic saga a lot like a team book. So fear not! Much celestial and human action will abound!

A Cow as an Angel? Some may scratch their heads at the appearance of these angels. But the Holy Bible describes some angels which do not look human. The books of Ezekiel and Isaiah, have references to four angelic “living creatures.” There are references to angels, cherubim and seraphim in other Old Testament books as well. The book of Hebrews, in the New Testament, references the gold castings on top of the Ark of the Covenant as cherubim. The book of Revelation refers to similar creatures as “four beasts,” directly linking them to the Old Testament. Depending on the references, some may be literal beings while others are symbolic and some may be both! The context has to be studied to determine the use.

The Resolute Comics Angelic Four are fictional, inspired, composite characters based loosely on Bible references. Make no mistake, these four are original products of our imaginations as to what angelic warriors might look, speak and act like.
