The Marvel story is a gigantic mountain- smack in the middle of contemporary culture. Thousands of writers and artists have contributed to it. Every schoolchild recognizes its protagonists: Spider-Man- the Avengers- the X-Men. 18 of the 100 highest-grossing movies of all time are directly based on parts of it. And not even the people telling the story have read the whole thing-nobody's supposed to. So- of course- that's what Wolk did: he read all 27-000 comics that make up the Marvel universe thus far- from Alpha Flight to Omega the Unknown. And then he made sense of it: seeing into the ever-expanding story- in its parts and as a coherent whole- and seeing through it- as a prism through which to view the landscape of American culture. Looking over close to sixty years of Marvel's comics- Wolk sees fascinating patterns and the way they all feed into a potent cosmology that echoes our deepest hopes and fears.
