More From Lev Grossman

It concerns me when i see a small child watching the hero shoot the villain on television. it is teaching the small child to believe that shooting people is heroic. the hero just did it and it was effective. it was acceptable and the hero was well thought of afterward. if enough of us find inner peace to affect the institution of television, the little child will see the hero transform the villain and bring him to a good life. he'll see the hero do something significant to serve fellow human beings. so little children will get the idea that if you want to be a hero you must help people.

Almost any tale of our doings is comic. we are bottomlessly comic to each other. even the most adored and beloved person is comic to his lover. the novel is a comic form. language is a comic form, and makes jokes in its sleep. god, if he existed, would laugh at his creation. yet it is also the case that life is horrible, without metaphysical sense, wrecked by chance, pain and the close prospect of death. out of this is born irony, our dangerous and necessary tool.
Pain Sleep Laughing
The true art of the gods is the comic. the comic is a condescension of the divine to the world of man; it is the sublime vision, which cannot be studied, but must ever be celestially granted. in the comic the gods see their own being reflected as in a mirror, and while the tragic poet is bound by strict laws, they will allow the comic artist a freedom as unlimited as their own.

Heroes come in all sizes, and you don't have to be a giant hero. you can be a very small hero. it's just as important to understand that accepting self-responsibi lity for the things you do, having good manners, caring about other people-these are heroic acts. everybody has the choice of being a hero or not being a hero every day of their lives.
Hero Caring Self
Comic books sort of follow with the move - if people see the movie and if they're interested in the character and want to see more of the character, they start buying the comic books. so a good movie helps the sale of the comic books and the comic books help the movie and one hand washes the other. so, i don't think there's any reason to think that comics will die out.

Everybody is special. everybody. everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain. everybody. everybody has their story to tell.
