The Spiritman Update can be read like a devotional. It follows the comics panel by panel mixed with commentary from the creators and a dose of scripture.

Finally Rita catches up with Carlos. All right, 2 guns should be able to do the trick... unless Spiritman throws his sword again.
"Those who hate you will be clothed with shame. The tent of the wicked will be no more."

Aah... there's Martin. He did manage to stay out of the way. Looks like Spiritman is directing Chelsea to leave by a window or sliding glass door. We still don't know what Chelsea was looking for in this apartment. Whatever it is she didn't find it. At least it looks like she will escape for now.
"seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue, by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust."
2 Peter 1:3-4 WMB

I like this image because it has a lot of depth. It does not have a single strong focus point so you have to look carefully to see what's happening. Another Spiritman superpower is being revealed.
"He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him. When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea."
Acts 8:38-40 WMB

Carlos, if you wait long enough Spiritman will be flanking you. In case you missed yesterday's post... Spiritman can move through walls. While this ability is not mentioned in association with the armor of God similar things are described in the bible.
"And he went out and followed him. He didn’t know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision. When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out, and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him."
Acts 12:9-10 WMB

Awkward... What happened to Rita? Sometimes you just need a nap. Well, I'm sure Carlos can manage this on his own... run Carlos, run.
"By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of the LORD men depart from evil."

POW! You probably saw this coming... Carlos did not.
"Arise, LORD! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight. Put them in fear, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only men."

Hello! My name is Amanda. I am a teenager, an aspiring Christian author, and a hopeless superhero addict. I just wanted to thank you two for writing those books. Their message came to me at a time when I needed it. They gave me hope. Keep writing and never give up.
