Mall Entrance Heroes

- Everything i was looking forThe encyclopedia was great, it had every charcter imaginable and the images were spectacular. I recently purchased the marvel encyclopedia as well, but i have to say this isa superior collection of super heroes. Rating: - Great GiftGave this book as a gift to our school's art teacher as a thank you for his monthly faculty art classes. He really enjoyed the history of the comics as well as the beautiful graphics. Rating: - EncyclopediaThis book has it all! I got it for my husband for Father's Day (he got it early though) and he loved it. It has everything you want to know about all the DC characters. Rating: - This looks like a job for EDITORMAN!I didn't mind the blatant exclusions in this "encyclopedia" or the unusual focus on some characters (Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen) over others (Jim Gordon, Alfred Pennyworth), but they could have hired a proofreader before going to press. The numerous typos, omissions and factual errors grew annoying the farther into the book I got. Major events were glossed over, characters were omitted and the art selection was haphazard and poorly executed. All-in-all, I would rather have a bound edition of the Who's Who magazines that DC released in the 80's. At least it seemed like they cared enough about that product to proofread it, as opposed to this substandard effort. I give it one star solely because of the beautiful Alex Ross dustjacket. Rating: - GREAT book!This is a very comprehensive book, great for the amature or experienced follower. I purchased this for my husband who is an avid follower and he was not disappointed! It covered the subject material very well and the illustrations are beautiful! I would purchase it again. The DC Comics Encyclopedia Buy superhero comic book collectibles at the Superhero Mall! |
