( a TOME o' the GODS ) - the "New Gods",....perhaps ?
[ For Grant Morrison, possibly the greatest of contemporary superhero storytellers, these heroes are not simply characters but powerful archetypes whose ongoing, decades-spanning story arcs reflect and predict the course of human existence: Through them, we tell the story of ourselves. In this exhilarating book, Morrison draws on history, art, mythology, and his own astonishing journeys through this alternate universe to provide the first true chronicle of the superhero-why they matter, why they will always be with us, and what they tell us about who we are. }
Thats a RIGHT ON, baby,....way kewl ! HUZZAH ! Its about TIME someone wrote this.
+^d !
( King Kirby had a clue what this genre is all about )

Marvel over DC. Chevy over Ford. Heinz over Hunts. Hellmans over whatever else there is for mayo. Yeah I'm a brand whore.
I did buy "The Death of Superman". I laughed through the whole thing. - 1 year ago

Some of us have Most of the Thors up till about 1980.
brag brag brag brag . . . ( actually AM ,...well not "proud",....but,...."pleased",...."satisfied' by that. ) I think Kirby did a good job with the "New Gods" as well.
p.s. The Starlin "New Gods" additions are likable as well.
