Format:Hardcover
Whilst not as comprehensive as other volumes like this, this Character Encyclopedia is an excellent basic reference for all things Avenger. It features a generally clean and logical presentation style, even if the included information is sometimes sparse or often tenuous.

It offers an excellent jumping in point for anyone looking to get familiar with these characters and the Marvel Universe in general. For the price I paid (£[]) I couldn't recommend it more. A hardback, with good quality pages and thousands of excellent and enthralling images it was brilliant value.

Each character is treated fairly, given the same amount of space whether they have 1 comic issue of history to cover or 60 years worth of issues. This makes it very quick and easy to flick through and look up your favourites, but is a bit odd when you realise you have only skimmed the surface of some characters, but get everything you need with others.

Overall excellent value, but only the very basic information inside, the perfect index to a collection but perhaps a brief encyclopedia.

Great guide. 18 Mar 2012
Format:Hardcover
I bought this Encyclopaedia as a companion piece to "The Ultimate Graphic Novel Collection" which is being released in 60 parts, covering numerous Marvel comics and super-heroes. For the price I paid it is even better than I expected, giving a brief but good description of all the major characters in the Marvel Universe.

The book is a good size, with great paper quality. The illustrations are colourful and accurate to the comics, and the little bits of information such as the list of Enemies to each character, plus full physical description and description of powers are well written.

Overall, this book is great value for any Marvel fans of any age.

:) Mark

I bought this book for my 6 year old son who is a big fan of Marvel. The book is not however aimed at children and is written as an adult book. The book has over 200 pages and character descriptions/facts etc and is well written and nicely illustrated.

The book is based on The Avengers and not all Marvel characters are therefore included - but still well worth the money.

Would recommend.
