ABSOLUTELY, DEFINITELY A MUST-HAVE FOR ALL MARVEL FANS! October 30, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Like the average child once, I read comic books, especially marvel comic books. Marvel IMO has the most extensive comic books characters, both hero and villain, ever written. This encyclopedia will open your eyes to all of those characters, educating you on just about every little detail you need to know about them. I was truly excited (and fascinated) upon receiving this book. Although I read a lot of comic books when I was a child, I was totally unaware of the other characters. This book gave me an insight of the extensiveness of the Marvel World. It is truly a work of art. One of the books you must have if you're a big comic-reader (and will read from time to time).

I bought this book as a gift for my 14 years old son. He loves it. If you like comics, or if you are passionate fun of Marvel's best characters having this book IS A MUST.
 Wonderful reference, marred by serious typographical errors September 8, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got this book for my birthday and I'm really, really glad that I got it. Want to get that out of the way first. As a basic reference source it's excellent as a geeky coffee table book it's pretty much without peer. It's on my desk at work and at least once a day I get into a vigorous debate or pleasant conversation about Marvel and Marveldom. On a personal level, as the only guy in my neighbourhood who collect all of OHOTMUDE (seriously, the comic guy got one copy of each issue and kept it behind the counter for me), it's just a fun read.br /br /Unfortunately, while it could have been much more than that, it's really just a fun read.br /br /There are numerous typographical errors, about one every two pages or so. Either the origin issue is wrong, a word is badly misspelled or, as is the case with the entry for the Soviet Super Soldiers, the majority of the illustrated heroes are labelled as "Undefined" when even this casual comic book fan can remember most of the names. It just didn't go through a final editing spit-and-polish and it shows.br /br /Definitely a book that belongs in the collection of your average comic book geek, but it could have been quite a bit better.
Marvel Encyclopedia a 'must-have' September 7, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Marvel Encyclopedia is a fantastic compilation of the characters inhabiting the Marvel universe. It was interesting reading the backgrounds on the wide array of characters as well as where they first appeared (what issue, year, etc.). The more popular characters (Wolverine, Venom, Spiderman, etc.) are usually given one to two pages for their own history and rightly so. There's more of a following and interest in someone like Venom's history as opposed to a lesser known villain that lasted 3 issues in 1974 (and thus is given a postage stamp-sized blurb). Also, I would have to say the deal on Amazon was great. It was $26 here versus a $40 price tag I saw at a local chain book store.
