Last Night, a Superhero Saved My Life: Neil Gaiman!! Jodi Picoult!! Brad Meltzer!! . . . and an All-Star Roster on the Caped Crusaders That Changed Th by Liesa Mignogna

4.0

An anthology of authors writing about what superheroes -- mostly Batman -- meant to them. The essays go from a bit banal (side eye at DC for a particular hiring choice) to brilliant and devastating. The closing essay grapples with The Killing Joke and was particularly powerful.

Does a nice job of demonstrating how important it is to see ourselves in our stories. Of having characters to emulate and love. Sometimes that's Nightcrawler. Bamf!
