Book Reviews of The Marvel Encyclopedia
Book Review: Great, now I have to buy the DC Encyclopedia too!
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been waiting for this to come out for quite some time and I haven't been dissappointed.
To compress very-nearly 50 years of history and continuity into a managable volume was always going to be a struggle, but I think the contributors have just about pulled it off. Granted, some of the characters' histories feel a little too compressed, with the editors obviously concentrating on the origins of each character rather than the ensuing adventures. This of course makes complete sense, unless you want the book to be 10,000 pages long!
Overall a damn fine effort that should reside on every comic book fans' coffee table.
Like the title of this review says, I now have the hankering to buy the DC edition of this series, which is probably the best review this book could have...
