The Gospel According To Marvel
Friday, 3 April, 2026
This week on Bros, Foes, and Heroes, Zach and Mike take a look at one of the most unexpected comics ever published: a 1993 Marvel collaboration with a Christian publisher telling the Easter story of Jesus Christ. In the early ’90s, Marvel Comics teamed up with Thomas Nelson in a strange (and short-lived) attempt to bring faith-based stories into comic shops. The result? A straightforward, panel-by-panel adaptation of the Gospel accounts covering everything from the Last Supper to the crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. Along the way, we talk about: Why Marvel was experimenting with projects like this in the ‘90s. The surprisingly stacked creative team behind the book. Whether adapting something this serious into a comic actually works. The difference between meaningful faith-based media… and basketball Bibles. And how this bizarre partnership even happened in the first place It’s part history lesson, part reaction, and part “how did this exist?” with plenty of the usual off-the-rails tangents along the way. Whether you grew up with the Easter story or are just here for weird comic book history, this is one of the most unique issues we’ve ever covered. #marvelcomics #marvel #jesus #easter #bible #christianity #easterstory #comicbooks #comics #90scomics Thank you to our sponsors!
