One Power in the Verse: Finding God in Firefly and Serenity
by Paul Lytle
Lulu.com

From the first scene of the first episode of Firefly, where Malcolm Reynolds kisses a crucifix before going into battle, God has played a major role in Joss Whedon’s fascinating look at the future. In One Power in the ’Verse, God’s presence in Firefly and its sequel Serenity is explored in detail, respect, and awe. With careful scholarship, author Paul Lytle shows that God is inexorably woven into the fabric of the 'verse . . . and why it’s better that way.

Essay: "The Madness of Arkham Asylum: Why Aarkham May be Doing More Harm than Good"

A collection of critical essays on Batman. Arkham Asylum has had its problems. There always seems to be an escape, a murder inside, a mentally deranged person running things, or the undead wandering around (seriously). Is Arkham doing any good in Gotham? I say no. Actually, it is part of the problem.

Essay: "Honey Traps, Romeos, and Blackmail: Love, Sex, and Family in Espionage"

A collection of critical essays on 24. In the show 24, spies are always manipulating love, family, or sexual relationships. I show how this aspect of the show actually represents the real world of espionage quite well.

The Man From Krypton: A Closer Look at Superman
edited by Glen Yeffeth

Essay: "The Golden Shield: Image as Superman's Greatest Power"

A collection of critical essays on Superman. My contribution examines Superman's public image as his greatest strength. Over and over again, villains try to destroy the Man of Steel, but they are only able to really neautralize him when they attack his image.
