Super Gods by Grant Morrison

    One of my recent reads for May is Morrison's Super gods:What masked vigilantes, miraculous mutants and a sun god from Smallville can teach us about being human.  You don't have to be too engrossed in comics to appreciate this but it helps.  Some knowledge of pop culture will also help.
