Preview: Raven #1

She knows that non-denominational demons exist, but I don't think Jesus has ever been shown to have any power to protect her from them.

Trigon's realm I'm pretty sure isn't an afterlife. It's just a place he rules, where everything's on fire, and his minions torture its living inhabitants. He's on a multiversal path of conquest, where he'd attempt to come to our world and make it like his own, so stands to reason that his world too was once a normal place until Trigon conquered it.

The powers of occultism that Raven deals with are all pretty concrete. Even the meditation stuff. It's not like she'll meditate, experience no peace of mind, and then be told "Meditation works in mysterious ways".

But all that aside it's just a thematic issue. It'd be like if Batman ditched the bats for a flamingo shtick. It presents an entirely different image. Bats are black hairy night creatures. Flamingos are pink feathery day creatures. If Raven becomes Christian is she gonna keep dressing in hooded robes and saying incantations? Or is she gonna get one of those suits with the white collar things and go around reciting bible verses and saying things like "The Power of Christ Compels You"?
