It's been an exciting couple of weeks around the release of Captain America: Civil War, with several articles, interviews, and a review of my book A Philosopher Reads... Marvel Comics' Civil War appearing online. I collect them all on the dedicated page for the book at profmdwhite.com, but I thought a Comics Professor blog update was called for as well.
1. I did two interviews about the movie, its relation to the comics, and the ethics and politics behind both:
"A Philosopher Watches... Captain America: Civil War," interview with Skye Cleary for the Blog of the APA (American Philosophical Association), May 10, 2016
"The Post-9/11 Ethics of Captain America: Civil War," interview with Katie Kilkenny for Pacific Standard, May 9, 2016
2. Michael Dudley of the University of Winnipeg reviewed my book for the Winnipeg Free Press on May 7, 2016 in "Civil discourse: Comics book series says plenty on liberty, security and morals," containing the immortal attribution, "something of a rock star in the world of comics." (I wish!)
3. Finally, I wrote two pieces based on my book and the Civil War comics (before the movie came out):
"What Can We Learn from Watching a Superhero Civil War?" Psychology Today blog, May 3, 2016
"Captain America: Civil War -- conflicted heroes and a clash of philosophies," The Guardian, April 21, 2016

Even though it's "old news" by now, I'm also very happy with my chat with Scott Niswander for his Nerdsync podcast:

As always, if you like any of this stuff, let me know on Twitter and check out my book, A Philosopher Reads... Marvel Comics' Civil War, available now!
