If you are talking about comics like preacher or Constantine, they are so incredibly Biblically inaccurate they may as well not be considered Religious comics ✅

Daredevil is never boring and I doubt it will ever be lame. If it wasn't because of my little issues with Marvel. I would still buy the book.

Meh, I think it depends on how it was done. No offence sometimes the reason why Chriistanity doesnt appeal to people sometimes is because Jesus was not a warrior.
Sometimes when you see Christians trying to make things like comics it doesnt work because its just too "passive". Im not saying I think Jesus was bad because of the way he was im just saying his caring and loving attitude unfortunately doesnt seem to appeal to people on mass.
In saying that though I have seen some Christain orientated films that I have really loved. Freeway (1996) with Reese Witherspoon is a brilliant Christian film but alot of people wont notice it.
I could really feel the film because it took Chrisnaity and put it in a modern setting, also anybody who is religous could feel the film.

Well thats what im saying I pray to Thor sometimes and I could be considered to be a heathen (Norse pagan). I dont consider it to be a religous comic because its not made for that purpose its mainly commercial and the Thor comics are not an accurate representation of Norse myths.
Because religion is a touchy, annoying subject for both theists and atheists. One of the three big monotheistic religions as the main content of a comic just isn't going to sell that well. Or so I think.
Besides, Daredevil isn't a religious comic. Matt is religious, yes, but that's not what the comics are about.

Just like 90% of comics based on Christian religious themes.

As a Christian myself, whilst I am not opposed to it, I am not usually a fan of Christian movies or comics, but the one movie I do recommend is Bruce Almighty. I cringed when I first heard about it, but I was surprised as it was so tactfully done (And that scene towards the end in the rain with Jim Carey shouting pretty much sums up what it is to be a Christian) ✅
Well ike most reasons comics fail. Some people just aren't interested.
Another big thing is getting quality writers to do it. Some writers just won't take up the challenge because of the firestorm that can be made if Christians aren't protrayed right or they the writer may take flak for seeming overly bias on the subject.
Basically it boils down to writing. It's hard to base a Christian book on the Bible because then everyone knows the ending at the same time trying to continue that story arc further into modern times and be the central theme takes alot of skill to do so.

I wanna see that. You seen the Truman Show? That seems like the same sort of thing.

It depends on what part of the Bible you base it on and how you do it. Even if you look at the Mu some characters are influenced by the Old Testament for example Lilith is based on the Lilith of the Old Testament who gave birth to monsters.
The Watchers in the MU are actually based on the Nephilim from the Old Testament and the Apochyrpha(dont think I spelt that right). I co

I have watched the Truman show and it is fantastic. The amount of detail gone into that movie is incredible. There are some loose themes relating to fee will and our roles in life but nothing closely attributed to one faith. It's sorta left open. Great movie though, I highly recommend it ✅
