    Want to know what makes the Hulk or Superman really work. Interesting book on the real science applications on the powers of superheroes. Recommended

    any fan of comic books will appreciate this book. some of the explanations are not as satisfying as others but the book lived up to what i expected. However, each point they present and explain brings about numerous other questions, but in a positive way. the book is certainly one of akind and brings you one step closer to becoming just like your favorite hero (provided that tehy are covered in the book).

    Not as brilliant as "Physics of Superheroes" (and sometimes repeating topics of that book) but nonetheless a very interesting read for superhero comic fans!
