“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:5) That single truth sits at the center of Christmas. The Light (Jesus) did not wait for darkness to retreat. It entered it — fully, deliberately, lovingly.

Mark Waid and Alex Ross’s Kingdom Come (1996) is one of the rare graphic novels that transcends genre. It is a warning wrapped in beauty. A scripture of superheroes. A meditation on justice, mercy, pride, faith, and humanity’s never-ending war between hope and despair.

Before the MCU dominated the world…before superhero movies became billion-dollar universes…there was a shy kid from Queens with a camera, a crush, and a destiny he didn’t ask for. Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy wasn’t just entertainment. It was emotional. It was spiritual. It was personal.

Selene wasn’t just another action heroine. She was vengeance made flesh — a warrior haunted by betrayal, driven by love, and caught between two ancient races at war. The Underworld universe — and the unforgettable character of Selene — was created by Kevin Grevioux, Len Wiseman, and Daniel K. McBride. Together, they reimagined the vampire and werewolf mythos, blending Gothic horror, cyberpunk visuals, and tragic romance into something new.
