Thor

In the movie Thor, Thor was cast out into Earth and talks about magic and science as being one and the same, magic being an element often used by comic book writers.

Magic and Indoctrination of Kids

Alan Moore, who wrote for Batman and Superman, Watchmen, and V for Vendetta, is a practicing magician that incorporates magic in all his stories. Alan equates magic with art, defining it as "the science of manipulating symbols, words or images to achieve changes in consciousness" and further explains "The very language about magic seems to be talking as much about writing or art as it is about supernatural events. A grimmoir for example, the book of spells is simply a fancy way of saying grammar.  Indeed, to cast a spell, is simply to spell, to manipulate words, to change people's consciousness. And I believe that this is why an artist or writer is the closest thing in the contemporary world that you are likely to see to a Shaman." Allan Moore explains that in this fast-paced and confusing world, most people, especially kids, get their information from movies, television, comic books, and rock ‘n roll records. Allan then explains that if he can use these things to get information across and "help the education process in a bright, full colour, comic book way that kids [and adults] actually want to read", then he feels like he contributed something to the world.
