Iron Man and Philosophy: Facing the Stark Reality
Definitely an interesting look into philosophy and how it applies to Tony Stark and his environment.
Not something I would recommend to your everyday reader or simply a comic book fan who wants to read more about their favorite hero; since this book contains a series of academic essays that use Iron Man/Tony Stark as a case study and therefore, the language and terms used could be confusing for many.
However, as someone who owes their degree to writing about gaming and philosophy; I believe that this book could be worth gold to many people within the academic fields and especially those dealing with pop culture.
Definitely picking up some other books in this series.
