Baba's Reviews > Supergods: Our World in the Age of the Superhero

Morrison's more or less epic history and commentary on the world of the American superhero from the late 1930s' debuts of Superman and Batman to the release of The Avengers movie. An absolute must-read for likes of the genre with an in depth analysis decade by decade of the likes of Jerry Spiegel, Joe Schuster Gil Kane, Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, Chris Claremont, etc etc. With some biographical content, the defining of the comic book 'ages', a look at censorship, the impact of 9/11 etc. nothing is left un scrutinised. 8 out of 12.
