The Amazing Adventures of Phoenix Jones: And the Less Amazing Adventures of Some Other Real-Life Superheroes: An eSpecial from Riverhead Books: And the ... (An eSpecial from Riverhead Books)

Bestselling author Jon Ronson walks the mean streets of America where he finds real life, modern day superheroes. Fighting crime, saving old ladies, and chasing away drug dealers â€“ all while wearing a mask and a cape. Phoenix Jones patrols Seattle, masked, muscles rippling, while corner boys scatter and teenage runaways are helped, whether they want it or not. He might still see his pediatrician when superhero-ing gets a little too intense, but heâ€™ll be back out there with his ass-kicking comrades as soon as heâ€™s bandaged up. These do-gooding citizens talk the talk, and walk the walk of mythical superheroes â€“ the only thing they're missing is actual supernatural powers.
Â
The Amazing Adventures of Phoenix Jones is an inside, intimate look at the world of amateur superheroes and a front row seat to their adventures.
