To reconsider the superhero I read the priest story in
class, along with Fable before class. I’ll talk about the priest story more in
a separate post. But I’m going to admit that I had played ‘The wolf among us’
before reading Fable. I count Fable as a superhero comic because it includes
people pretending to be normal, with a alternative life, and they have ‘super
powers.’ It’s a whole community of people living out their lives outside of the
government. It’s interesting just to see the characters re-imagined in this
gritty world trying to live their lives without storybook rules to help them.
Without them glorifying their lives and getting a happy ending anyway, they are
actually struggling with it. Forced to take up less than honorable professions.
Living on the skins of their teeth to just get by.
