While I enjoyed the read, there was one glaring problem, no doubt to my own expectations of the book. I was hoping for a 21st century version of Campbell’s Hero of a Thousand Faces, looking at our modern mythological beings, superheros. While some of the book showed that promise, the autobiographical sections killed that central conceit. Nonetheless, a worthwhile read, and one of the more interesting looks at comics.
