Whether it is for noble intentions or due to a delusional mindset, comic books can be a life-risking hazard for many of us. It may be because you dream of becoming a superhero, or be because you just want to shake your lives up a little bit - there is no uniform cause for this behaviour. Either way, comic books have been the reason that fans place themselves in such dangerous and risky situations - after all, at the heart of it, who doesn€™t want to be a superhero in some way, shape, or form?
