Superheroes with Islamic backgrounds are nothing new, but their critical study is. The recently released Muslim Superheroes: Comics, Religion, and Representation proposes how best to deploy such analysis pedagogically, politically, pluralistically, pervasively, and persuasively. This roundtable considers the book’s contents through its political context in 2017, its concerns with aesthetics of beauty and spirituality, its observations on images and loaded symbols (e.g. niqabs, hypersexualized females, violence), and its challenge to dominant Western notions of heroism. This multi-stage discussion will provide an insider’s perspective on creating such a publication as well as a space to explore the popular portrayal, misuse, opportunities, and future of Muslim characters in the global comics industry.
