Essential Reference Guide for Comic Book Collectors and Fans,
By Donald Mitchell "Jesus Loves You!" (Thanks for Providing My Reviews over 110,000 Helpful Votes Globally) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: The Incredible Internet Guide to Comic Books & Superheroes (Paperback)
Unless you have read and remembered every issue of every comic book character that interests you, this book will greatly add to the pleasure and profit you enjoy from comic books.As comic book publishers have gotten better at pushing for profits in recent years, story lines have become more complex and appear in more titles. As a result, it is easy to lose the chronology. What an incredibly nice surprise it was to find 207 fine-print pages of chronologies in this book! All of the most best known D.C. and Marvel characters are covered, as are some of the independents. For example, Batman/Bruce Wayne in the Golden Age covers three large pages of fine print type. These chronologies have two uses. One is to follow the story line as a fan. The other is to help anticipate which comics will next rise rapidly in price. When the prices for the parts of the story before and after a comic are doing well, you can generally assume that this comic will as well. People who don't know the chronologies are at a disadvantage to collectors who do when the missing piece falls into a different title. Another strength of the guide is that it integrates material in the form of information about the characters themselves with original art, comic books, figures, games, merchandise, cartoons, television, and films. Some of this material will tell you about upcoming plans for new products. You can also access art that you can download to use as screensavers and icons, making your own computer much more fun to use. If you are attracted to the writers and illustrators, they are presented, as well. If you would like to chat on these subjects, you can locate fellow fans on-line. The book also points you to search engines that have been optimized for comic book and super hero character searches. A major benefit of this guide is that it takes you straight to the screen that has the material you are looking for. As a result, your time on-line will be shorter and more productive. If you are not a comic book or super hero fan, you should consider giving this book as a gift to someone who is. It will be much appreciated. One of the best gifts any one ever gave me was a limited edition hardcover version of my favorite Uncle Scrooge comics that a read as a boy. I still treasure and enjoy it. Here is your chance to be very thoughtful, at a much lower cost. After you have finished using the guide to increase your fun and profits, I suggest you consider where else a good understanding of chronology could make a difference to your enjoyment and profit. Perhaps you should consider the order of the development of characters in novels you enjoy reading. Or, in addition, what is the best order to read Shakespeare's plays in? Get the order right, and your progress will be irresistible!

Just for John Q. Public,
By Walter J. Kovacs "comixscholar" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Incredible Internet Guide to Comic Books & Superheroes (Paperback)
Okay, well I don't usually write reviews, but I have to step in and call out John Q. Public. His reviews seem to be everywhere and are perhaps the most zealus, nonsensical ramblings I have ever read. If you cannot find a website with accurate information on comic characters, then you have not looked hard enough. The fact that Mr. Public suggests going to the movie theater to find out information on heroes belies his true ignorance and, quite frankly, stupidity.
