This topic is buring question from People's Republic of China to Deep State of USA etc - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Pretty Enjoyable If like me, you also never grew out of the phallic age ;-)
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I generally enjoy psychological deep dives into various fictional characters. I've already read similar books for Batman, for House...and have generally gotten some interesting insights into the characters by doing so. The title of this particular treatment promised a sociological exploration, as well. Comic books always manage to capture where we are as a culture, and make a unique commentary on that moment. I went into this expecting a gripping analysis of that social commentary.
That was where I found this book disappointing, because there's actually no social commentary at all. That said, the psychological analyses of Tony Stark and Steve Rogers is mostly interesting. I particularly enjoyed examining both through the lens of post-traumatic stress disorder, given their life experiences, and how that influences their heroic actions and the turmoil of their personal lives. There are several really great chapters on this and similar inspections, and then the writing slips into several Freudian analyses, for which I have little interest or patience.
If you're a fan of the characters, then this is an interesting book, and a fairly quick read. I recommend going into it without the expectations that I held, though. Otherwise, you will almost certainly feel let down.
