5.0 out of 5 stars Even True Believers Need Help, 13 Mar 2003
By Scarlettspiderg (Salford, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Admit it, sometimes when your reading your Marvel comic (X-Men, Spiderman, Avengers etc) you spot a character you dont know. Or you start to like a character whos been in ALOT of issues and dont have time to read them - this is the book for you. It has the major players (and some minor) of the Marvel Universe and provides all the information you would need on them. The artwork is pretty spectacular and its easy to find the character you want info on (ever wanted to find out whos stronger (Thing or Thor) - well this book tells you!

4.0 out of 5 stars More than just a glossy advert for Marvel...., 14 Jan 2004
By A Customer
I was immediately attracted to this collection of Marvel heroes and villains because of the price, which is low for a hardback.
The book is gorgeous and features artwork from just about all the Marvel artists of recent years. The accompanying text summarises the origins and histories of the characters in detail. There are some drawbacks, notably that the book isn't comprehensive, omitting several characters I remember from the 1970's. A section on the writers and artists would have been nice too, including those from yesteryear. Despite these issues, it's still worthy of the cash. Very nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Encyclopedia of Modern Mythology, 15 Oct 2003
By A Customer
To anyone who loves superhero comics this book is great. The majority of well known Marvel characters are fully detailed, including breakdowns of their respective strengths and weaknesses. Many relevant minor characters are covered as well, in the same level of detail. One of the most useful features is a list of recommended `essential' reading for each character- a great way to find some great comic books.

The research has been well carried out, the writing is engaging and entertaining. The artwork varies as there are many artists featured in the book- the quality of even the poorest pieces is good, and the best are quite literally works of art.

The synopses of the characters really do read like the various mythological dictionaries to be found- as has been said many times over the years the spandex heroes really are, in many ways, contemporary versions of the legendary heroes, of course in the case of Thor they are the legendary version as well!. The spectacular soap-operas of their lives make for compulsive reading.

A fascinating book- if you have even a passing interest in Marvel comics, or superheroes in general, buy it. Also especially recommended to roleplayers interested in running a superhero game as background material. A very, very good buy.

1.0 out of 5 stars An offensive remark to the great paper-making industry.
Rather than wasting your money on this, try investing it in something more worthwhile, like crates of unsellable Coca-Cola Desani. Read more
