Explains physics principles by exploring the forces and motion of comic book superheroes, explaining basic rules of thermodynamics, energy, and solid state physics as it relates to real world experiences.

Recommended by Mr. Lui, Science Teacher: “Simple, fun, and mostly math-free book that goes through physics concepts in the context of comic books. They may be science fiction and not reality, but they get it right more times than you think.”
