If you follow me on social media, particularly my personal Twitter (@ElsonRebecca<\/a>), you know I\u2019m a fan of comic books. However, I haven\u2019t read a lot of superhero comics and with the rise of the superhero comic book movie I\u2019d like to learn more. That\u2019s why I agreed to read \u201cSuper Soldiers: A Salute to Comic Book Heroes and Villains Who Fought for Their Country\u201d by Jason Inman. Well, that and the delightful endorsements from a variety of interesting folks like Dan Aykroyd, Anthony Swofford (author of \u201cJarhead\u201d), Joshua Hale Fialkov (writer of \u201cI, Vampire\u201d and \u201cThe Ultimates\u201d), Dan Jurgens (writer\/artist of \u201cSuperman\u201d and \u201cCaptain America\u201d and creator of Booster Gold), and more!<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ Let\u2019s get to what you really want to know, who did Inman write about? Here we go, starting at the top: Captain America, Gravedigger, Captain Marvel, War Machine, Green Lantern (John Stewart), Captain Atom, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Flash Thompson, Isaiah Bradley, Sgt. Rock, Batwoman, Beetle Bailey (that\u2019s right, Beetle motherflarkin’ Bailey), Nuke, The Punisher, Deathstroke, and Nick Fury. <\/p>\n

Now, why do we care what Inman has to say? Well firstly, Inman is a comic book lover and writes about their characters with obvious affection and enthusiasm. He is the co-creator and co-writer of \u201cScience!\u201d for Bedside Press and \u201cJupiter Jet\u201d for Action Lab Entertainment. He was also the host of DC All Access, DC Comics official web series, for over three years. And you know, before becoming a writer he served in the U.S. Army and Kansas Army National Guard, deploying as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. This means that not only does he talk about the characters military experience, but he compares that with his own. It offers a different perspective.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re looking for an interesting introduction to world of comic superhero characters, \u201cSuper Soldier\u201d by Jason Inman is the book for you!<\/p>\n
