God: Difference between revisions

* The ''[[Lucifer (comics)|Lucifer]]'' comics depict God as sympathetic towards humans, but ultimately rather alien and willing to do terrible things in pursuit of greater goals. Indeed, at one point He is willing to destroy the entire universe, as He wasn't sure if it was really a successful experiment or not. Eventually, He was convinced to do nothing and let the inhabitants of his universe solve the entropy of the universe by themselves, an idea He didn't seem to have even considered and thus found rather amusing.

* God is shown, face and all, in the ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'' comics. Definitely not one of the kinder depictions of his power or personality.

* The [[DCU]] has [http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Presence_%28New_Earth%29 The Presence,] [[I Have Many Names|also known as The Voice, The Hand, and The Source]] who plays essentially the same role. His most directly visible role is being the source of power behind the Specter's abilities, since the Spectre is, technically speaking, a Fallen Angel who repented, and as such gets micromanaged a fair bit more than usual just in case. As The Source, meanwhile, it shows up as a giant burning hand in the [[New Gods]] stories, and as witnessed by [[Green Lantern|Krona]] created the Universe in that form (the "Big Hand" theory).

* [[Conan]] has Mitra, who's essentially the Judaeo-Christian God under a different name. His followers are strict monotheists (the only ones in Hyboria!), believe in Heaven and Hell and are sworn enemies of Set, the setting's serpentine [[Satan]] analogue.

 

* ''[[Muertitos]]'' depicts God and [[Satan]] as the patriarchs of two clans of feuding rednecks.

* [http://pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF053-Angels_Caught.jpg This] ''[[Perry Bible Fellowship]]'' strip has God depicted as the all-seeing eye. Hmm. A great eye that sees all? Sounds a bit like [[Lord of the Rings|Sauron]]. That or the all-seeing eye on the back of the US $1 note.

* God shows up periodically in ''[[Webcomics/Dinosaur Comics|Dinosaur Comics]]'', represented by bold text spoken from the top of the panel.

** Like almost everybody else in the strip, God is portrayed as a [[Jerkass]] who especially hates Davan and Mike and ignores prayers to Him in lieu of watching shit happen to them.

** He also made up the whole "Homosexuality angers God" business so that [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|He could watch lesbian couples having sex with each other]] to spite Him. It's not made clear if the spite is needed in order to invoke His name so that He is allowed to watch, if invoking His name merely alerts him to the location the act is taking place, or if the spite is just part of His [[All Men Are Perverts|kink]].

* Although he doesn't appear directly, God is an indirect presence behind the scenes in ''[[Misfile]]'', depicted as an all-knowing entity that lets his [[Celestial Bureaucracy|angelic bureaucracy]] handle the actual work...or does he?

* Lord Cyrios, the creator of the [[Daily Grind]] universe, has never appeared directly in the comic, but [[Our Fairies Are Different|the Fae]] claim to be will-less bodies inhabited by his spirit, and several dead characters—like Tharka's sister Benjamina and Jolene's [[mentor]] Stenni Eelstad—have shown up saying they work for him now.
