"Blair Davis's Comic Book Movies combines academic insight with the expertise of a lifelong fan. He writes with clarity, energy, and enthusiasm, condensing debates about politics and aesthetics into an accessible guide that both explains what a comic book movie is, and questions what we think we know about this most popular of contemporary genres."
— Will Brooker, author of Batman Unmasked and Hunting the Dark Knight
"Blair Davis challenges the notion of 'the comic book movie' as a label that shuts down rather than opens up discussion of films derived from comic book sources. His book successfully argues for other ways of seeing these films."
— Ian Gordon, author of Superman: The Persistence of an American Icon
