If you follow me on social media, particularly my personal Twitter (@ElsonRebecca<\/a>), you know I’m a fan of comic books. However, I haven’t read a lot of superhero comics and with the rise of the superhero comic book movie I’d like to learn more. That’s why I agreed to read Super Soldiers: A Salute to Comic Book Heroes and Villains Who Fought for Their Countryby Jason Inman. Well, that and the delightful endorsements from a variety of interesting folks like Dan Aykroyd, Anthony Swofford (author of Jarhead), Joshua Hale Fialkov (writer of I, Vampireand The Ultimates), Dan Jurgens (writer\/artist of Supermanand Captain Americaand creator of Booster Gold), and more!<\/p>\n

\"\"Let’s 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’s 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 Science!for Bedside Press and Jupiter Jetfor 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’re looking for an interesting introduction to world of comic superhero characters, Super Soldierby Jason Inman is the book for you!<\/p>\n
