It’s been a while since we had a discussion of a non-fiction prose book about comics. Would anyone be interested in reading/discussing this one? I enjoy a love/hate relationship with Grant Morrison comic book work, but I’m always interested in reading his thoughts about comics. I vaguely remember reading a solicitation for this book, but it was seeing the subtitle today which really convinced me to read it: “What masked vigilantes, miraculous mutants, and a sun god from Smallville can teach us about being human.” Flipping through it sealed the deal. Any takers?

Too many times in the past I have let my (oftentimes quite limited) availability to post dictate my reading pace, but in this case I pushed ahead and read the book over the weekend. I have things to say about every chapter and am still open to the possibility of an in-depth discussion (with others who have read it), but for the time being I’m content to let Doc’s capsule review stand.
I have read the TPB , with a lil' bit of additional afterword - Um ~~~~~ Figs ???????????
There's a couple of factual errors/mistypes and a couple of more arguable mis-/different interpretations and presentations of chronology , but , anyways .
