|  | Comic Wars by Dan Raviv
Billionaires Ron Perelman and Carl Icahn slug it out in the boardroom and in the Delaware court system in a fight to control the Marvel Comics empire--home of Spider-Man, the X-Men, and the Incredible Hulk. Before the resurgence of the company--thanks to the success it has had spinning off its major characters into successful movie franchises--Marvel was near extinction, and two upstart owners of an action-figure company attempt to save their own company by saving Marvel. The book swings through a morass of legal paperwork, as well as corporate meetings, smarmy phone calls, and a enough machismo chest-beating to fatten more than a few bank accounts. AUTHOR: Dan Raviv

 | Country by Nick Tosches
Celebrating the dark origins of our most American music, Country reveals a wild shadowland of history that encompasses blackface minstrels and yodeling cowboys; honky-tonk hell and rockabilly heaven; medieval myth and musical miscegenation; sex, drugs, murder; and rays of fierce illumination on Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and others, famous and forgotten, whose demonology is America's own. Profusely and superbly illustrated, Country stands as one of the most brilliant explorations of American musical culture ever written. AUTHOR: Nick Tosches
