In this episode of Tea Time Theology the hosts and guest discuss Alan Moore and David Gibbons' Watchmen (1986–87), covering its historical context, key plotlines (the Comedian's murder, Dr. Manhattan's exile, Rorschach's investigation), and the book's innovative interstitial world-building.

They explore theological questions raised by the story—where God might be in a broken world, process theology and divine “nudges,” community as hope—and offer personal reactions and reading recommendations for listeners wanting to dive deeper.

Hosts Taylor and Ivy welcome guest Tricia Thorm to discuss Grant Morrison’s All‑Star Superman (2007), a story about Superman learning he has only a year to live after overexposure to the sun.

The episode explores parallels between Superman and Christ, themes of mortality, mercy, legacy, and small acts of heroism, and how ordinary people step up when heroes fall.

Conversations touch on Lex Luthor’s rivalry, the emotional origins of the comic, and how hope and community continue Superman’s mission beyond his death.
