Customer Reviews

Information every Marvelite needs to know!!!

Every volume of this hardcover series of Official Handbooks has been great. This volume is especially informative because it has profiles on Iron Man and the Hulk, the stars of their own blockbuser movies this past summer. Highly recommended for Marvelites and those looking to increase their knowledge of everything Marvel.

These great covers by Tom Grummett tell us most of what we need to know. Inside we get Hulk & Iron Man, Human Torch & Iceman, Hercules, Iron Fist, and more. Iron Man has nearly 40 armor designs depicted! Questionably, John Byrne's artwork isn't included in the Hulk's entry... still, it's great to see so many different artists here.
