Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Together with writers Scott Allen Perry and Adam Mock, Eric Curtis created Fallen Superheroes to catch the attention of superhero lovers who are open to some belly-jiggling laughs." --www.forevergeek.com " Fallen Superheroes imagines the daily lives of second-rate superheroes who may have put on a few pounds here and there. Disheveled, worn out, or simply mildly deranged, Curtis's superheroes indulge in life's simple pleasures." --www.flavorwire.com "We get a strong sense of this world, where some incredibly powerful beings do battle in mundane housing developments, while others cultivate eccentric hobbies; some don't bother to take off the suit before doing their chores, while others enjoy the finer things in life." --io9.com "Shot in various real-life locations, featuring some very interesting Lycra-clad creativity, adorned with random and witty--sometimes randomly witty--captioning, Fallen Superheroes probably can't compete with that copy of Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer's Life collection sitting on your coffee table, but it will probably make you smile more." --BookFetish "It's funny, sad, beautiful, ugly and entirely worth reading." -- Photographers Forum Magazine "This is the type of coffee table book that will catch your friends' eyes and cause conversation to spiral off into spontaneity. But aside from showing off to pals, I found it fascinating to revisit how this project was created (in the introduction) after going through the entire series." --www.HollywoodMatinee.com "As I read through this mishmash of B-grade heroes and mutants, I am reminded of one thing: how much fun it is to be a comic nerd... A perfect Christmas gift for your comic-loving friends." --www.GeeksOfDoom.com
