Super Graphic: a Visual Guide to the Comic Book Universe, by Tim Leong, 196 pages

Super Graphic: a Visual Guide to the Comic Book Universe, by Tim Leong, 196 pages

I love that this book exists!  This book is a collection of infographics about comics and graphic novels.  Some are informative (a battle breakdown, wherein the percentage of wins, losses and ties according to character are recorded in bar graph form!), others are helpful (an explanation of crossover issues and how many tie-ins they required!) and others aren't technically statistical (the Chris Ware Sadness Scale) but very funny for fans of the genre.  A fun work for comic book fans (the emphasis is on comic books, with graphic novels, comic strips and manga getting a few nods).
