"No Offence, but Marvel Rules, Indeed" In the world of comix there is two giants that rule the world.. D.C. and Marvel. Many enjoy D.C. because they can take pleasure in reading about characters that are mighty in stature and more than mere human.. most famous are "Superman", "Batman", and the Amazonian Queen "Wonder Woman". Yet for me, it is much more pleasing to read about the type of hero that must struggle with relatable problems. Which is why, I greatly gravitate, towards Marvel. Marvel is the producer of many characters that hold special powers and abilities, but must deal with them, while also dealing with many regular life dilemmas. They encompass feelings that we understand much too well. Precise examples are "Spiderman" and "The Fantastic Four". Unlike many D.C. persona's that are close to being gods and revel in supreme powers, these Marvel heros seem much more mortal and many times feel as if possessing power, is more a curse than a blessing. Since I find the Marvel Universe to be so engaging. I opted to read a little.. er big'ol book called: "The Marvel Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide To The Marvel Universe". Let me tell you.. this slab of comix content, is about as informative about the marvel world as anything found on the market.. Any info desired about a favorite character is easily found.. Plus, it also gives, a galore of content on those that are lesser known. This Marvel Encyclopedia is written so that anyone, can read and understand. If you have little knowledge about comic books and the Marvel world.. I suggest that you read this book, so as to get a quick and rather fun rundown of its world. This book is A to Z. It is easy to directly and easily find a particular character that you seek for. It holds concise content on all the mayor players from "The Avengers" to "X-Men" or "Cap" to "Spidey". But.. also you can find interesting and useful content on little know characters. "The Marvel Encyclopedia" is a superb way to learning about many Marvel hero's and villains. Plus, you get the low down on most of the major story lines that have occurred. It holds valuable information for those planning on reading any current material. Plus, if you just want to look at the purty pictures.. Its purty good, just for that too! Have you had the opportunity to read this book?
