there are several things i don't agree with so far:
1. we have our own strengths. my husband would be furious if i knew how to get us un-lost and i didn't say anything.
2. maybe the problem is with FEELING and ACTING superior. instead of being completely silent and resenting his mistakes, ask him WHY he decided to do something the way he did. maybe it will turn out his way was better.

i honestly couldn't finish reading this. i don't know what kind of feminist this woman thinks she is but it's not the kind i relate to. this would be a good book for someone who has HUGE control and power issues but if you're just trying to tweak your marriage and relationship you'd do better somewhere else.

Well, that was … different.

By now, we're all used to witnessing the current Superhero phenomenon - Spiderman, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, etc - from the point of view of those characters, drawn (predominantly) as larger-than-life.

This eschews all that, focusing instead on the point of view of a bystander on the street (photo journalist Phil Sheldon), with the characters drawn in an almost photo-realistic manner. As such, this deals more with how the public (would) view those characters and the massive property damage than inevitably follows one of their battles, picking and reinterpreting various scenes - Captain America at war, Mister Fantastic and Sue Storms marriage, The X-Men and the Sentinels, Spiderman and the death of Gwen Stacey, etc - from the decades of comics now available.
