Aquaman and the War Against Oceans by Ryan Poll
Ryan Poll argues that the New 52 Aquaman develops the superhero into a figure of ecological justice who charts the environmental apocalypse caused by global capitalism and helps readers connect the violences occurring in the ocean to those occurring on the surface, including sexism and racism.
"While at times a mocked superhero, DC's Aquaman has much to teach its readers about environmental justice, the Ocean, and fighting oppression during the Anthropocene"—Nicole Rehnberg, Journal of Popular Culture
“Aquaman and the War against Oceans couldn’t be more important to read. It is the book for our times. Ryan Poll has written a page-turner, and not many academic texts can be called that. It is probably the smoothest integration of scholarly and journalistic sources I have yet encountered, written in a style that could be enjoyed by superhero fandom, undergraduates in an environmental humanities course, and scholars doing research on ecocriticism and superhero politics.”—Marc DiPaolo, author of Fire and Snow: Climate Fiction from the Inklings to “Game of Thrones”
“In this scholarly tour de force, Poll sonar-maps new scholarly biomes. He radically reorientates research frames and opens scholarly slipstreams to vital new ways of engaging with and adding to blue humanities, Black Atlantic, ecofeminist, and critical race studies. This is superhero comics scholarship at its best!”—Frederick Luis Aldama, author of the Eisner Award–winning Latinx Superheroes in Mainstream Comics
