Superman. Batman. Spider-Man. The Hulk. Not one of these names needs any introduction, of course. But before they were larger-than-life figures on the big screen at the local movie theater, these heroes could only be found on the pages of comics, to be perused freely at the local comic book store or surreptitiously between the pages of a textbook during school. Naturally, the love for, the sharing of, and the medium of comics itself has evolved along with the times, but the stories themselves remain the same: tales of heroes and villains, triumph and failure, tragedy and victory. And the blogs winning our have heroically undertaken the task to continue to provide a portal to the worlds our fictional heroes reside in, mainstream or obscure. Whether it be Clark Kent, or Peter Parker, you’ll find they’re not unlike Perseus or Odysseus, heroes from classical literature, and you’re still learning what you so studiously avoided while reading those same comics during school.
So please join me in congratulating the recipients of the Top Comics Blogs, presented by Online Schools!
