Tom and Matt Morris' Superheroes And Philosophy: Truth, Justice, And The Socratic Way super-hero figures are more popular than ever; and what way to link them to philosophy than through a book which compares actions to ethics. From friendships and moral duty to morality, women and teamwork, Superheroes And Philosophy offers a wide-ranging survey of popular cultural icons and their underlying values systems.

This is one enjoyable book. The collected authors have combined superheroes and philosophy in an entertaining and mind-stretching way. Personal favorites are "God, the Devil, and Matt Murdock" and "Comic Book Wisdom". I haven't read several of the series the book's articles talk about, and yet I was never lost. To disagree with one of the reviewers, religion and philosophy need to be discussed together. It hurts neither.
