Gosh.

Well, if it's published I guess I'll buy it, but ... this is a gag, right?

So the book has come out:
Supergods: What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human

I've not got it yet, but plan to. Would be nice if this is as good, and as successful, as I hope.

Is it winging its way to other Lithers as I write? Has anyone read it?

It's pretty good from what I have read so far. The first chapter on Superman and Batman's creative origins is very interesting (that said it's not anything the average Barbeloid Grant-slut* hasn't heard before in interviews).

His stuff on Captain Marvel, the comic book code, and the Batman/Robin sexual subtext debate are all very well written.

i've only read his section on the invisibles so far, but that was pretty great. more in depth thought when i'm done.

Word up. I found this entertaining but a bit light for Mr. Mozzer.
