[Stephen · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5 stars. These are pretty good reference books for Marvel character backgrounds and histories. Could be done better but they are certainly superior to the version put out by DC.

[James Bowman · Rating 2 out of 5]

Like the previous volume, this contains a ton of data... but it doesn't go beyond an outline, which makes it dull to read. Only of value as a quick-reference snapshot of early-to-mid 1990s Marvel... and I suppose some of the statistics might be useful for RPGers. (C+)

[Little Timmy · Rating 3 out of 5]

All you could ever want to know about EVER major, and most minor, marvel characters. You find out all about their friends, family, powers, secrets and origins. Very good art throughout. Very recommended.
