Summary
FROM THE TEAM THAT BROUGHT YOU THE EISNER-AWARD WINNING MYTHOLOGY: THE DC COMICS ART OF ALEX ROSS
Here is the beloved Marvel Universe of comics characters， brought to thrilling life as only Alex Ross can。 They're all here: Spider-Man， Captain America， Iron Man， the Avengers， the Guardians of the Galaxy， the X-Men， the Fantastic Four， Black Panther， and many more--all seeming to leap， blast， and launch off the page。
For almost thirty years， Ross has been working nonstop to create some of the most astonishing images in comics， and while Marvelocity collects the very best of that oeuvre， it's much more than that。 Inside are hundreds of drawings， paintings， and photographs that have never been published before， including an original ten-page story featuring Spider-Man versus the Sinister Six， redesign proposals for the X-Men and the Fantastic Four， and a re-creation of an epic battle between the Sub-Mariner and Iron Man。
But this isn't just the story of the Marvel characters--it's also the incredibly inspiring true tale of a little boy who only ever wanted to draw and paint super heroes。 And with enough determination， talent， and very hard work， that's precisely what he did。 Marvelocity is the result， and is sure to entrance and delight fans of all ages。

A well-designed retrospective of the comic legend's Marvel output。 I thought I knew all his cover work， but there were some surprises including a pop-art aesthetic to a Fantastic Four series which ever launched。 A well-designed retrospective of the comic legend's Marvel output。 I thought I knew all his cover work， but there were some surprises including a pop-art aesthetic to a Fantastic Four series which ever launched。 。。。more

SUPER FAST REVIEW:Okay so it’s Alex Ross。 You know this artwork is gonna be pretty great！ I didn’t expect him to talk so much about his childhood （even seeing some Marvel stuff he drew as a kid before becoming an official Marvel artist）， love for superheroes， to go in depth about the art， etc。 but it’s certainly welcome here。 I also think it’s cool that it’s not just drawings featured in this book。 There’s also a very exciting Spider-Man short story here！Yeah I love it and highly recommend it！5/ SUPER FAST REVIEW:Okay so it’s Alex Ross。 You know this artwork is gonna be pretty great！ I didn’t expect him to talk so much about his childhood （even seeing some Marvel stuff he drew as a kid before becoming an official Marvel artist）， love for superheroes， to go in depth about the art， etc。 but it’s certainly welcome here。 I also think it’s cool that it’s not just drawings featured in this book。 There’s also a very exciting Spider-Man short story here！Yeah I love it and highly recommend it！5/5 。。。more

I think I had forgotten how much I love Alex Ross’ work。 Not just the level of detail and craft but how he works so hard to ground his figures in realism。 I want to frame so many pages of this book。

An absolutely gorgeous coffee table sized book。 It's packed full of not only Alex Ross's Marvel covers but sketches， childhood drawings， busts， posters， even custom figures Ross made out of construction paper as a kid。 This thing is packed with jaw dropping art along with commentary from Ross。 It ends with a ten page original story featuring Spider-Man against the Sinister Six。 An absolutely gorgeous coffee table sized book。 It's packed full of not only Alex Ross's Marvel covers but sketches， childhood drawings， busts， posters， even custom figures Ross made out of construction paper as a kid。 This thing is packed with jaw dropping art along with commentary from Ross。 It ends with a ten page original story featuring Spider-Man against the Sinister Six。 。。。more

Jos realistinen sarjakuvataide maistuu， tätä parempaa kirjaa on tuskin olemassa。 Alex Ross on taiteilijana omaa luokkaansa。

Alex Ross has earned his reputation as the master of painted photo-realistic art。A big book like this one with glossy pages and expanded-size panel reproductions is the absolute best way to view his art。Along with the marvelous （ha！） illustrations， there are explanations of how he achieved a certain look， some background information on writer/artist collaboration， and insights into the early art career of a master， Alex Ross， that began as early as age seven。Definitely worth the asking price。 It Alex Ross has earned his reputation as the master of painted photo-realistic art。A big book like this one with glossy pages and expanded-size panel reproductions is the absolute best way to view his art。Along with the marvelous （ha！） illustrations， there are explanations of how he achieved a certain look， some background information on writer/artist collaboration， and insights into the early art career of a master， Alex Ross， that began as early as age seven。Definitely worth the asking price。 It's an art book that you'll return to time and time again。 。。。more

I pretty much love any comic art that's painted。 Bill Sienkiewicz。 Alex Maleev。 David Mack。 Joelle Jones （although most of her work is illustrated， she's a painter）。 And Alex Ross。 I love Ross's work， and I'm not sure why。 It's too real， like portraiture。 It's too reverent and so much larger than life。 Too 。。。 perfect and ideal and bright。 But it's also powerful and hopeful。 And Ross loves comics and these heroes and their stories。 And I can't look away。 I pretty much love any comic art that's painted。 Bill Sienkiewicz。 Alex Maleev。 David Mack。 Joelle Jones （although most of her work is illustrated， she's a painter）。 And Alex Ross。 I love Ross's work， and I'm not sure why。 It's too real， like portraiture。 It's too reverent and so much larger than life。 Too 。。。 perfect and ideal and bright。 But it's also powerful and hopeful。 And Ross loves comics and these heroes and their stories。 And I can't look away。 。。。more

Great Illustrations。 Alex Ross is an icon in the comic books industry。The quality of this book is very good， it's very big and full of color。 It's a visual feast。It would be good to include more stories about the origin and process of the drawings but it's ok。If you like the art of the comic books this book is for you。 Great Illustrations。 Alex Ross is an icon in the comic books industry。The quality of this book is very good， it's very big and full of color。 It's a visual feast。It would be good to include more stories about the origin and process of the drawings but it's ok。If you like the art of the comic books this book is for you。 。。。more

This hulking book is incredible！ Getting to see my favorite artist’s uncanny renderings of my favorite superheroes is a treat。 With his mighty brush， Alex Ross transforms paint into gods。 If I had to stick with one word to describe this book， it would be “Spectacular！” Or “Amazing！” Or “Marvelous！”

Fantastic collection of Alex Ross’s work for Marvel。 His painted work is unique and tremendously lifelike， which brings a whole new aesthetic to superhero comics。 I have no idea how he can be so prolific given his approach， but I’m definitely thankful。 A great collection for any Ross or Marvel fan。 The extremely talented Chip Kidd assists with words and design。

Loved this book of Alex Ross' Marvel Comics art with text by Chip Kidd！ Being a similar age to Alex， I also grew up with my first exposure to Spider-Man on The Electric Company。 I also used to draw superheroes when I was younger， but obviously didn't develop into the superstar artist that Alex is。 I found the story behind Marvel's Earth X series （and the fact that DC planned to do a Kingdom Come sequel without him） fascinating。 A must read for Marvel Comics fans！ Loved this book of Alex Ross' Marvel Comics art with text by Chip Kidd！ Being a similar age to Alex， I also grew up with my first exposure to Spider-Man on The Electric Company。 I also used to draw superheroes when I was younger， but obviously didn't develop into the superstar artist that Alex is。 I found the story behind Marvel's Earth X series （and the fact that DC planned to do a Kingdom Come sequel without him） fascinating。 A must read for Marvel Comics fans！ 。。。more

Meh。 A cool art book， for sure， but I’ve always felt that Ross’s style is better suited to DC characters。 Great design by Chip Kidd （as always）！

This is another absolutely phenomenal collection of the artwork of illustrator and painter Alex Ross。 This volume is focused on his art for Marvel Comics， a seeming companion to the earlier Mythology book focused on his work for DC Comics。 This incredible collection is designed and curated by the wonderful Chip Kidd， and his passion for these characters and the stories behind them shows through。 Chip’s layouts and interest in the visceral and physical materials of creation always inspire me。 Thi This is another absolutely phenomenal collection of the artwork of illustrator and painter Alex Ross。 This volume is focused on his art for Marvel Comics， a seeming companion to the earlier Mythology book focused on his work for DC Comics。 This incredible collection is designed and curated by the wonderful Chip Kidd， and his passion for these characters and the stories behind them shows through。 Chip’s layouts and interest in the visceral and physical materials of creation always inspire me。 This book is no exception。 His ability to tell breathtaking stories in imagery always impresses。 And what can you say about the work of Alex Ross？ He is a modern master， combining the best of the classic American painters with a love of 60s-80s comic book pop culture。 He renders light， shadows and the fantastic with a realism that brings it all home for the reader。 It’s also amazing that he was setting these amazing comic characters into a real life long before they were reborn onscreen with the renaissance of superhero films。 This book is highly recommended for anyone with a pulse。 :） 。。。more

Beautiful drawings。 So interesting to see his drawings as a child and how they turned into what we all know and love today。 My grandson loved to see his work as well。

For whatever reason， I enjoyed the DC Comics Alex Ross book more。 Perhaps the marvel of it （pun intended） lessened for the second book。Regardless， he has an amazing skill。

This was so much fun to read。 When Stan Lee died so many people were like but but you're all grown-ups now why are you still so invested in comics and make-believe？ I loved seeing the art from when he was a kid to the art he's making as an adult how that thing you love as a child can stay with you your whole life。 As a lifelong lover of sci-fi that hits home。 All of the artwork is amazing my husband and son both loved this book too。 Great library find。 This was so much fun to read。 When Stan Lee died so many people were like but but you're all grown-ups now why are you still so invested in comics and make-believe？ I loved seeing the art from when he was a kid to the art he's making as an adult how that thing you love as a child can stay with you your whole life。 As a lifelong lover of sci-fi that hits home。 All of the artwork is amazing my husband and son both loved this book too。 Great library find。 。。。more

Full of beautiful art。 I have always been a fan of Marvel comics and it was wonderful to see my old， and new favorites in such a gorgeous fashion。 There were also a lot of summaries of story lines that caught my interest。 I may just get back into reading comics after this！
