Waitaminute. I think they have something here! Yeah, Satan fell through on on the way to Earth, a dimensional gateway, so he could entice Eve with an Apple, the bastard,,,
what?
oh, the snake wasn't Satan?
Then what?
He was just a talking snake?
Oh.
Nevermind.
I wish Jack Kirby just gave up on allagory when he was alive and just directly created Mister Miracle, Son of Highfather of new Heaven and his Howling disciples. The First World series, Boom Tubes and all.
Completely ridiculous, yes, but better than that Bible shit.
First issue, Darkseid, the ugly fuck, tricks Eve, the silly girl into eating from the forbidden, yet always available tree. Shit insues, people are cast out, more shit insues, Satan is scapegoated to the underworld and Highfather melts down like Odin on Frostgiant crack.
Cut to the present, the year zero, Scott Free escapes crucifiction with a sub-sonic Allen Key or some such shit and routes the Romans with Gabriel, DumDum Didymus, Rebel Judas and the rest. Fucking writes itself as it goes along, does it make sense or ever resolve itself? No, nothing Kirby wrote did, and neither has the Bible.
Cut to today the revelation context where every thing that happened before meant absolutely nothing, people mistake Darkseid for Satan, Scott Free for Jesus and the Earth for some kind of arena of conflict for the amusment of Gods.
No matter how many times I play merge the myths it always comes back to that Olympian, fuck with the humans for kicks concept.
