Marvel Comics has an established tradition of addressing relevant real-life issues facing the American public. With the publication of Civil War (2006-2007), a seven-issue crossover storyline spanning the Marvel universe, they focused on contemporary anxieties such as terrorism and threats to privacy and other civil liberties. This collection of new essays explores the Civil War series and its many tie-in titles from the perspectives of history, political science, sociology, psychology, literary criticism, philosophy, law and education. The contributors provide a close reading of the series' main theme--the appropriate balance between freedom and security--and discuss how that balance affects citizenship, race, gender and identity construction in 21st-century America.

The author used some of his newly created poems in this book, alternating them with Prose in the form of thoughts, memories, reflections, and fanciful extrapolations. Some of those segments dealt with memories and autobiographical episodes. Other parts represent the author’s philosophical reactions to works on scientific topics he read, mostly in the fields of Physics and cosmology. Interspersed are elements of subjects relating to the lore reflected in theological currents and religious beliefs he encountered in his earlier life. His thoughts are presented in the theses he advances but are often meant in a “tongue-in-cheek” mode.
