Black Superheroes, Milestone Comics, and Their Fans (Studies in Popular Culture)
Brown's effort is well intentioned, but it will leave readers  confused. Its main thrust is to offer "an examination of  contemporary comic book fandom as it relates specifically to the  texts published by Milestone Media." One problem: Milestone has,  for all intents and purposes, not published for the last several  years; in fact, it has been out of business longer than it was  ever in business. So how seriously can you take this book, whose  narrow focus is hugely disappointing? We need a legitimate study  of black superheroes, and this is simply not it. Not  recommended with great bitterness. Chris Ryan, New MilfordCopyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
