A nice reference 31 Dec 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
A large book that is 1 1/2 inches thick and seems to be put together very nicely, in alphabetical order. I was a bit disappointed about the Shi-ar Gladiator, as there is no section for him and his group, but there is a 2 page spread on the empire in general.

But in all it gets you clued up on the marvel characters; I am now clued up on captain america, as main characters like this can have a several page spread.

Enjoy, Its worth it.
