I loved the idea of this book - a collection of personal essays by authors about the role that comic books have played in their personal and professional development.

The main roadblock I had with this book is that I wasn't familiar with a lot of the authors, so their anecdotes lack any strong connection for me. I love hearing people talk about why they love the works of art they do, though, so it was very interesting on that level. It also made me nostalgic for 70s cosmic superheroes - I want to go read some of Starlin's Warlock and Kirby's New Gods.
