Marvel Absolutely Everything You Need to Know

This book is a good primer for anyone looking to get into (or back into) the Marvel Universe. It contains a lot of interesting facts and good summaries of many major characters and events, but some others are noticeably absent.For starters the book as a whole is very light on X-Men content, with only a single two-page spread devoted to the entire team, which has had many revisions over the years. Major characters like Storm, Kitty Pride, Psylocke, and Bishop are hardly mentioned aside from in a laundry list of members (if at all), and iconic villains like Magneto, Apocalypse, and Juggernaut are relegated to single-sentence summaries.Most of the other Marvel properties get better treatment, except for their other dream team, the Fantastic Four. Being just a group of four, two pages was probably enough for the heroes, but some of the major villains they've spawned were omitted almost entirely. Galactus gets a minor reference, but it's Dr. Doom who is seriously snubbed (no dedicated villain page for either). It's a shame to see such little content devoted to the original Marvel super villain who would form the archetype for all others to come.Finally, the events section is pretty light as well; the 2015 Secret Wars remake is listed but the '80s classic is ignored. The same goes for the Contest of Champions and Age of Apocalypse, and likewise for more recent major events and alternate universes like "House of M" and its aftermath in Avengers vs. X-Men.So overall, there's a decent amount of content and it's well presented, but I feel like the book could have standed to be another 20 or so pages and include some of these more glaring omissions.

Bought this as a gift and the person loved it. Def a great option for a Marvel fan!

My son loves the book. It’s very colorful and detailed, but he found a curse word and the word “freaking” the first day while reading it. He and I were both disappointed to find that in a book that seems to be for kids. Otherwise, he loves it and looks up all the info about his favorite characters. It’s kept his interest better than a lot of books.

It doesn't give "EVERYTHING," but it is full of fun knowledge. I learned a lot about Marvel superheroes that I didn't already know. For an in-depth encyclopedia of every Marvel character, you should look into the Marvel Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded. Still, this book is full of great art, and is really fun to read through. Recommended for anyone who wants to collect Marvel comics, or who wants a fun guide of the Marvel universe.

I LOVE this book. I am a HUGE MARVEL fan , and this is so much fun to read. Its style of the book is kinda set up like a comic book. It has a lot of information about multiple characters, and the pictures are beautifully designed. As a Marvel fan I would say buy this for another marvel fan or yourself if your a Marvel fan.

Great quality book. I was surprised at how nice this book is. I bought it for my 9 year old nephew. He likes to know everything about everything. Do I figured he would enjoy this fact book.The outside of this book is really nice. It is textured and has raised letters. The face is almost a canvas feel. The inside has great illustrations and information. Very detailed.Would make a great gift.

Got this for my Marvel nerd son! He loves it and now knows everything about Marvel. My husband likes to read it too! Very durable and nice. Sturdy hard cover.

For those who have friends into Marvel, this is a great gift idea. Went over very well.

Great book! Got it for my 6 years old son and he loved it.

The kids love this book, and bring it out every chance they get to learn more about any new characters they encounter

The Everything You Need To Know books are awesome. My little guy loves them!

coming From a big marvel fan I really enjoy this book

É uma das capas mais bonita que já vi. A imagem do Hulk está em relevo, sendo ele fosco poderia passar a sensação de ser a pele dele assim. Marvel e os balões estão em relevo também. O livro é repleto de balões e quadros de todo tipo. Super colorido com personagens em vários tamanhos, o livro apresenta curiosidades sobre super-heróis e vilões. Ótima qualidade. Pena que não tem o dobro de páginas, bem que poderia ter 480 páginas, he.
