商品簡介
Screenwriter, director, producer and comic book author Joss Whedon is best known for his television series and films featuring villainous vampires, angry gods and even bloggers who wish to rule the world. Within these works is a prevalent yet commonly overlooked theme—the corporate antagonist. This book examines the effects of this corporate culture on the protagonists of Whedon's most famous works—including Buffy, Roseanne, the Avengers, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Dollhouse—to reveal explicit sociopolitical commentaries on corporate control in the real world.
