This was a very well-written, interesting read. However, if you are a long-time fan of comics/superheroes, this may not be the best book to pick up. I personally didn't learn anything new from the material provided, but I do think it was a nice refresher concerning the history of comics and the rise of the superhero genre in general. Additionally, the writing was easily understandable and relatable in a manner that didn't make anything boring. If you're a new superhero fan, or perhaps a fan whose never really looked into the behind the scenes elements of the comic business, this is definitely a great book to look into. While pictures take up a prominent amount of space in this book, it also covers the history of the two big comic companies, DC and Marvel, and additionally dedicates time to analyze the success and influence of smaller companies as well.
Overall, I believe this was a very interesting book. 3 stars!
