this was really informative and fun， it’s an easy way for someone to get into the comic marvel universe without having to wonder where to start。

It's exactly what it claims it is， a beautifully illustrated comprehensive guide of all the characters in the Marvel Universe。 I especially loved comparing the comic versions to the MCU and how their storylines differ – I’m hoping that’s how the What If？ Series on Disney + incorporates as well as the What If？ Comic series。 Also there were some amazing characters that I adored， ones I hadn’t heard of before and whose comic series I would like to buy， especially the Strange Tales series， anything It's exactly what it claims it is， a beautifully illustrated comprehensive guide of all the characters in the Marvel Universe。 I especially loved comparing the comic versions to the MCU and how their storylines differ – I’m hoping that’s how the What If？ Series on Disney + incorporates as well as the What If？ Comic series。 Also there were some amazing characters that I adored， ones I hadn’t heard of before and whose comic series I would like to buy， especially the Strange Tales series， anything with Dr Strange automatically gets a win from me but all the Journey into the Unknown stuff （and those story lines similar） sounds wild。 。。。more

Excellent overall but a few quibbles make me scratch my head。 For example， Sister Grimm is listed as a founding member of A-Force but she doesn't get an entry。 Some entries are by the character's real name but most are by their alternative ID。 That's fine except that when they're listed as their real name， their entry should list superhero ID instead of repeating the real name， so you have to read the entry to find the superhero name， such as in Pepper Pott's case。 Listing her as Pepper is fine Excellent overall but a few quibbles make me scratch my head。 For example， Sister Grimm is listed as a founding member of A-Force but she doesn't get an entry。 Some entries are by the character's real name but most are by their alternative ID。 That's fine except that when they're listed as their real name， their entry should list superhero ID instead of repeating the real name， so you have to read the entry to find the superhero name， such as in Pepper Pott's case。 Listing her as Pepper is fine but the stat block should list "Rescue" instead of duplicating her real name。Like I said， they're quibbles but mildly annoying。More serious， I wish their layout and graphic design people had been a bit more sensitive to people with low vision。 A few small design tweaks would have made the book much easier to read。 。。。more

It took me about 9 months to gradually read through this。 It is what you expect: a compilation of Marvel characters and major events。 There's a lot of interesting stuff here， although with all such books like these it does vary。 I consider myself reasonably comic savvy and yet I had heard of maybe 1/3rd of the characters mentioned （although I did think of a few that weren't that I thought should have been）。 I think the book's value will come more as a true encyclopedia--i。e。 to look up unfamilia It took me about 9 months to gradually read through this。 It is what you expect: a compilation of Marvel characters and major events。 There's a lot of interesting stuff here， although with all such books like these it does vary。 I consider myself reasonably comic savvy and yet I had heard of maybe 1/3rd of the characters mentioned （although I did think of a few that weren't that I thought should have been）。 I think the book's value will come more as a true encyclopedia--i。e。 to look up unfamiliar characters as I come across them in comics--than for sheer readability。 。。。more

So good！ I can feel you every marvel character there is。 I recommend to watch things from marvel then when you see a character find him in the book than read about him。

This book was a lot of help！ I learned lots of interesting things about marvel， and I know a lot more superheros and their stories。

This weighty tome settles all the questions you might have about the print version of the Marvel Universe in alphabetical order， from Abomination to Zzzax。 More repetitive on major events than I’d like to have seen， but perhaps that couldn’t have been helped。 Recommended for catching up on what your favorite heroes were doing when you weren’t reading their books， if nothing else。
