As every serious comic book reader can tell, superheroes aren't tackling just brutish villains; they're grappling with Big Questions.
In every adventure, Superman, Batman, the X-Men, and other extraordinarily empowered individuals are wrestling with problems of good and evil; ethical questions about violence in a good cause; the metaphysics of personal identity; and the perils of enforcing justice outside the law.
In this brain-tickling book, a host of hip thinkers and graphic arts savants discuss the philosophical implications of superhuman achievers.
This book is part of the "Popular Culture and Philosophy" series. Here are some other books from this series:
