For obvious reasons, religion is something writers have handled with a very light touch over the years. Interestingly, theologian and comics scribe John Ostrander wrote a Spectre series for more than sixty issues. "You look at some of the classic Spectre stuff and you look what Ostrander did in particular, and things like that and what you end up with are stories that are kind of like DC does EC Comics! And yet at the same time, The Spectre is always reared up as this all-powerful, all-mighty force that is sometimes dropped into the middle of a story and can literally look at somebody and say, 'You are a soap bubble' and pop, you are."It becomes tricky to negotiate if you start inviting real religion into it and we're not going to do that," Rucka added. "But the sort of unspoken rule in the DCU is that the Judeo-Christian God sits above all others. And then below that you can have your New Gods and your Greek gods and whoever else you want."
