Say you don’t feel like buying $10,000 worth Graphic Novels” through the MU. Just buy this encyclopedia, the back stories of the best and brightest sagas and arcs since 1961 when Stan Lee created some of the greatest literature to ever exist. Total Nerdvana!
Marvel Universe geeks from the 90’s and before to relive the good old days, back when peace, prosperity, and freedom carried the day, everyday.
Today in 2022 it feels like we live in a Philip K. Dick novel. Read •Scanner Darkly• or •Simalacra•recommended read*
This Book is worth more than the price offered GUARANTEED! And will continue to be collectible, even to a beginning fan or someone like I was, someone who collected Marvel Universe Trading Cards back in the day, anyhoo the back of the cards would have the hero or villains and it would show the statistics of STRENGTH, DURABILITY, AGILITY, FIGHTING ABILITY, STAMINA/ENDURANCE & INTELLIGENCE if I recall. Did collect some comics here and there but too hard to stay with a saga with a 16page fly-swatter book, lol. So then movies were hit or miss on the correct mythology and whiffed time after time with Production Companies fighting for character rights, SILVER SURFER NEEDS A REBOOT PLEASE ON BIG SCREEN, and so it right or don’t do it all Kevin Fiege. I hear they are finally consolidating the entire MCU aka this BOOK.
But just more multiverses just makes it harder to decipher who’s universe is who’s. “Infinity War & Endgame” was great but it could of been better if you could imagine?!! A few of the build up movies were ok but wasn’t as great as these writers like the “Writer: StanLee with Illustrator: Kirby” and the reboot writers of 1991 that Marvel really hit which spawned the coolest graphic novels and universe in all of literature, when staying in comic genre.
•Philip K. Dick and his novel multi-universes are influential with MARVEL, just planting the idea seed for anyone reading this, before they edit or remove PKD books forever i suggest doing a deep dive into his work if your wondering why big cities are the way they are. No pictures, but if you have an attention span for a multi-verse without a filter whatsoever and a imaginative speculation of
“WHAT IF”?!
PHILIP K DiCK sparked all literary masters that something as complex as a “Multi-Verse” could even exist in the first place. His short story hard book is wordvana to the fullest, so many writers copied or imo was plagiarized so much. He didn’t see much success as novelist, but his books make Nastradramus look like a weather man forecasting tomorrow’s forecast. If you read this message word for word, you have enough command of English language to understand PKD and how applicable his writings are becoming manifested in reality imo

Everyone gets their own entry and it covers everything from major characters like Captain America, Iron-Man, and Thor, to up-and-coming characters like Captain Marvel, to the less known or even the utterly obscure (hey, you want to read about Bi-Beast or Triathlon, they're right here!).
Bigger characters get several pages dedicated to their long histories, where as lesser known characters may get half a page or just a couple of inches. Each character has a biography and image(s), as well as information on their powers, height, weight, first appearance etc.
The closest I could get to a complaint is that if you already own the previous volume that was released just a few years ago, then you're obviously going to get a lot less out of this one than if this is the first time you've picked one of these editions up because not all of the characters here have been used in the interim period and so a lot of the information here hasn't changed from the previous editions. Additionally there is no information on the hugely successful Marvel movies - this volume is dedicated entirely to the comics that inspired those movies.
Other than that however this is a faultless piece of work that should delight any real fan of Marvel, it's characters, and their stories!
