Sex Lives of Superheroes

“Super-sex?? Super-duper awesome! Dangerous and daring! Pushes the envelope and all the buttons! I was riveted throughout!” —Rob Liefeld, creator of Deadpool   “An exhaustive, meticulously researched treatise on a truly ridiculous subject. You'll learn something new and interesting on every page, regardless of whether or not you want to know it.” —Jason Pargin, New York Times bestselling author of John Dies at the End  “It has been 55 years since the great Larry Niven let us all know that not only were we not the only people who were wondering about superhero sex lives, but that you could discuss it in a (somewhat) serious fashion . . . Diana McCallum is proving Niven’s point for him by giving us serious answers to all of our superhero sex questions (even the ones we didn't know we had), while also embracing some of the bizarre attempts that comics have made over the years to incorporate sex into superhero stories.” —Brian Cronin, senior writer at Comic Book Resources  “Sex Lives of Superheroes is both funny and impressively scientific, diving into questions that would make even Superman blush . . . Far from being a one-off joke, McCallum has written the definitive look at what happens to comic book icons when they’re between the sheets.” —Daniel Dockery, author of Monster Kids and senior writer at Crunchyroll  “If you’ve ever wondered why the Hulk gets lucky way more than Bruce Banner, how The Thing gets it on without a ‘thing,’ or whether Reed Richards should take advantage of his penis-stretching abilities, this is the book for you . . . I confess that some of these questions have never crossed my mind, yet I was drawn into the creative conjectures and then thoroughly satisfied by the meticulous research that went into finding some actual answers.” —Lynn S. Zubernis, professor at West Chester University, clinical psychologist, and editor of Supes Ain’t Always Heroes
