About the Author
Review Superheroes and Digital Perspectives considers how the superhero narrative is both shaped and informed by digital assemblages. This timely book examines how the superhero is often empowered by digital technologies; is mediated by digital technology within the narrative text; and is consumed and disseminated to an audience and readership that is itself fragmented and mediated by digital and social media. Exploring television, film and video-games, this new work on superhero culture is an important addition for scholars of popular media.This book succeeds magnificently in opening up and illuminating the dynamic interplay between the global phenomenon of superheroes and the digital world in which we live. Richly and scrupulously researched, Superheroes and Digital Perspectives: Super Data is an important book and a stimulating read.
