New on Blogroll: Law and Multiverse blog- Legal Issues and Superheroes

My gift to you, dear readers, is a recent addition to my blogroll for you to put on your must-read list. It is called the Law and the Multiverse Blog, and is about superheroes, supervillains, and the law and addresses such subjects as:

or Supervillains and Insurance: Who’s Gonna Pay for That?:
...A world with recognized and regular supervillain rampages would probably develop a way to insure against that sort of thing, but traditional property insurance would probably exclude such losses. States would need to create residual pools, much like the way they have for earthquake and hurricane losses.....
