The X-Men comic book franchise is one of the most popular of all time and also one of the most intriguing to critically analyse. Each essay in this collection examines a specific era of X-Men related comic books in relationship to contemporary social concerns. The essays range from an analysis of popular science at the time of the launch of the first X-Men comic book to an essay that interprets a storyline in light of the rhetoric used during President Obama's first presidential campaign.
