Our cinematic hopes and dreams are a direct reflection of the society around us. We sometimes need escapism in the form of our established myths and heroes in a way that nurtures our own wellbeing, especially kids. Over a series of essays, author and Rue Morgue scribe Paul Counelis examines several different instances where pop culture met comics, writing about his own personal experiences and the effects of comic book heroes on today's culture. With looks at Spider-Man, Superman: The Movie, Batman v Superman and more!
