* In ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)|Preacher]]'', God is a pathetic, needy, abusive, enraged creature. So are his angels.
* In ''[[Lucifer (comics)|Lucifer]]'', God is an aloof and dickish meddler. As is Lucifer, who wants nothing more than to be his own creation.
** Part of this is caused by the filter we see things through. When God finally shows up he's more out of touch than anything else.
Line 39:
* God (and Lucifer) in ''[[Crimson]]'' are surprisingly moral individuals, the prior spending time doing good deeds and giving the latter a standing invitation to get his old job back. The archangels on the other hand are all over the slippery slope, with a few being downright sadists. Driven home when they put Alex on trial in a diner... after first killing the occupants ''painfully'' for their sins. (God resurrects and forgives the victims when the angels aren't looking.)
* Zeus in ''[[Incredible Hercules]]'' justifies this by claiming that gods ''need'' to be jerks so that humans have someone to blame when everything seems to be going wrong.
