SUPERGODS What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human

With a languid and pontificating tone, John Lee narrates Morrison’s long reflection on the history of comic books, which is interspersed with his own biography. From the birth of Superman to the contemporary comic book landscape, Morrison identifies some of the key moments within the world of comics and identifies how the publishers, mainstream culture, and historical events changed the way people think about comics today. Lee’s British accent and cool attitude work in unison to create an image of Morrison that resonates with his public personality. However, when Lee delivers quotes from comic books, his voices sound mostly like clichéd gangsters, which is distracting. L.E. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2011]
