Marvel Reviews

  • Bart Hill

    An informative look at several of Marvel's most popular characters in comic book form and in the popular media of TV and film. However, the book only goes to 2003 (barely) so, that there is hardly any mention of the onslaught of Marvel films that have made a huge impact at movie houses around the world in recent years.

  • Christopher

    As a whole the book is informative on some of Marvels most popular characters and teams. In addition it provides a lot of the history of Marvel to be one the largest comic book companies of the day.

    If I had to say anything bad about the book is it needs to include spree history of some of the lesser known characters marvel has. Some of which are currently part of Marvel's phase two or phase three movies plans as or some of the show they are making with Netflix. Most of the movie characters outside of maybe black panther and the inhumans who I would consider lesser known to the general public should have some information in here in my opinion. Outside of Daredevil who I would say is decently well known to the public who has the history of his creation in the book, it lacks characters like Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and the rest of the characters who make The Defenders.

    A nice history of Marvel comics and some of the main characters from the comics through TV and movies.
