Spider-Man Psychology
is now available! This book is the perfect read to pair with the latest blockbuster movie,
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse!
Dr. Travis
Langley is a psychology professor, pop-culture guru, and “superherologist.” He expertly curates work from top psychologists to create an in-depth look into the various
Spider-Man
characters and their psyches, illuminating what our fascination with the series says about us.
This time around,
he and a team of expert contributors peel back Spider-Man, his foes, the recent Spider-Verse
movies, and more! Spider-Man Psychology
asks:
Why didn’t Peter Parker stop the burglar who killed Uncle Ben?
Are Spider-Man’s foes inherently evil, or are they victims of circumstances beyond their control?
What do the many web-slinging superheroes across the Spider-Verse tell us about the choices we make in the world(s) we inhabit?
