The comic book universe is adventurous, mystifying, and filled with heroes, villains, and cosplaying Comic-Con attendees. This book by one of Wired magazine's art directors traverses the graphic world through a collection of pie charts, bar graphs, timelines, scatter plots, and more. Super Graphic offers readers a unique look at the intricate and sometimes contradictory storylines that weave their way through comic books, and shares advice for navigating the pages of some of the most popular, longest-running, and best-loved comics and graphic novels out there.

Review of 'Super graphic' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Pretty funny and charming, this is more of a coffee table book that one peruses rather then a library ebook that one tries to read from front to back before its due date. Somewhat fluffy there was a minimal amount of gimmick considering the premise. While the information was presented in creative and unique ways, it all felt very real and relevant.

A good gift idea for that comic nerd who already has everything else.
