Throughout the years, superheroes have been analyzed, dissected, and reinterpreted in a number of different ways. For instance, when Tim Burton made his first Batman movie, he actually picked up a comic book -- just the one -- and smelt it for its visceral properties. Although, in my opinion, I think it would have done him a lot better if he took the time to sit down and read it. Still, never mind! At least he made a comic book movie most of us were able to enjoy.Now, if you want to know about other people's opinions on the superhero genre, then please check out the following three books published by Sequart! One examines Daredevil, the man without fear; the other explores Green Arrow; the blond without cheer, and the third is focused on the Legion of Superheroes, the team without beer. Please enjoy.
Format: Paperback.
Price: $15.99.
Synopsis: Since 1964, Daredevil has been an outsider, a paradox, a loner, a down-to-earth super-hero, a blind-man with super-powers, and the star of some of Marvel’s most celebrated stories. So with that said, please stand back, take a deep breath, and get ready for The Devil is in the Details, a book which examines Daredevil and his alter ego, Matt Murdock, from a variety of different perspectives. Whether it’s the exploration of Daredevil’s troubled love-life; his relationship with Foggy Nelson or Spider-Man; or new takes on his classic runs; this book is something that no Daredevil fan should ever be without.

Synopsis: If you think you know Green Arrow, think again, because this book analyses the highs and lows of everyone's favorite Emerald Archer, both in the comics and on the small screen. This ranges from his Golden Age origins, the overlooked chapters of his life, and of course, the many iterations of his alter ego, Oliver Queen! Which goes to show that Green Arrow has never been just one thing, but rather a perpetually moving target. The book also features brand new interviews with Green Arrow creators from across the decades, including Neal Adams, Mike Grell, Chuck Dixon, Phil Hester, Brad Meltzer, and Jeff Lemire!
Authors: The book was edited by Timothy Callahan, and comes with a foreword by Matt Fraction, an afterword by Barry Lyga, and a cover illustrated by Kevin Colden.
