Mythology

I have been waiting for this gem for years. The art is exceptional.

I also loved seeing familiar names: Chip Kidd, Paul Dini, Bruce Timm, Darwyn Cooke

I shelved this as ‘Merica' because in addition to the Uncle Sam segment, Superheroes (and I feel especially some of these DC heroes) are a part of the American mythos, Americana, and zeitgeists of certain American eras.

This also makes me appreciate Superman more. I usually get irritated with certain portrayals of Superman — not everyone gets the balance right of power and humanity, but Ross delivers.

Ross is brilliant at showcasing the individual heroes and when they are a team they are still distinctly represented.
