Marvel handbook done right

Finally, Marvel is putting together these exhaustive handbooks in hard cover form. If you are a big Marvel fan you absolutely have to have these reference books. Also, finally, there are biographies for Marvel Golden Age characters which is very nice. If you collected the Official Marvel Handbooks from the 1980s-1990s and enjoyed them then these updated versions are a MUST have. The matching spines and similar covers look good on the book shelf and the back covers give a list of all the biographies inside. Pretty much perfect for what it is.

Really well made series

This is such an attractively made series I can tell you now I'll be recommending them all. Comics shops ought to have a special section for these volumes, similar to sections that contain Marvel Masterworks. My favorite entries in this 3rd volume include Daredevil, Deadpool, Defenders, Doc Samson, Doctor Doom, and Elektra. The contents here include: Captain (Nextwave); Captain America of the Revolutionary war; Captain Axis; Centennial; O.Z. Chase; Chronok; Chtylok; Cobra (Piet Voorhees); Coldheart; Collective Intelligence; Colossus (super-computer); Colossus (Vegan); Commanda; Conquistador (Beast foe); Crazy Eight (Shappe); Crimson Dynamo (Gavrilov); Crimson Mage; Crooked World; Crossbones; Crusader (Blackwood); Crusader (Thompson); Crusaders; Crusher (Iron Man foe); Crystal; Crystar; Jaine Cutter; Cutthroat; Cyber; Cyclone (Fresson); Cyclops (Summers); Cypher; Dagger; Daily Bugle; Daken; Damballah (Dam-Ayido); Danger; Danger Man; Daredevil (Murdock); Dark Angel; Dark Beast; Dark Gods; Dark Rider; Dark Riders; Dark-Crawler; Darkdevil; Darkhawk; Darkhold; Darkhold Redeemers; Darklore; Darkstar (Petrova); Darwin; Daydream; Days of Future Past; Dazzler (Worthington); Dazzler (Blaire); D'bari; Dead Girl; Deadly Dozen; Deadly Ernest; Deadpool; Karolina Dean; Death (cosmic entity); Death Metal; Death Wreck; Deathbird; Deathcry; Deathlok (Collins); Deathlok (Manning); Deathlok (Truman & Young); Death's Head (FPA); Death's Head (Minion); Death's Head (Page); Death's Head Warguard; Deathwatch; Deathweb; Johnny Dee; Debrii; Decibel; Defenders; Delilah; Delinquent; Deltites; Deluge; Demogoblin; Demogorge; Demolition Man; Demon-Fire; Demons; Desak; Desert Sword; Destiny (Destine); Destiny (Adler); Destroyer (Marlow/ Falsworth/ Aubrey); Destroyer (Stanton); Deviants; Devil's Heart; Devil-Slayer; Devlor; Devos the Devastator; Jean DeWolff; Diabolique; Diamond Lil; Diamondback (Stryker); Diamondback (Leighton); Diamondback (Bertrand); Diamondhead; Digger (Vegas Thirteen); Digitek; Dimension of Manifestations; District X; Divinity Drake; Doc Samson; Doctor Demonicus; Doctor Doom (Von Doom); Doctor Doom's Generals; Doctor Druid; Doctor Faustus; Doctor Glitternight; Doctor Nemesis (Stockton); Doctor Octopus (Octavius); Doctor Strange (Carlo); Doctor Strange (Stephen); Dominic Fortune (Fortunoff); Domino (Thurman); Milla Donovan; Doomsday Man; Doop; Doppelganger; Dorma; Dormammu; Nadia Dornova; DP7; Dracula; Dragon Circle; Dragon Man; Damon Dran; Drax; Dream Weaver; Dredmund the Druid; Drom; Droog; Druig; D'Spayre; Jean-Paul DuChamp; Timothy "Dum Dum" Dugan; Dust (Quadir); Dweller-in-Darkness; Earth X; Earth-A; Echo; Ethan Edwards; Effigy; Ego; 8-Ball; El Dorado; Electro (Dillon); Elektra; Elementals; and then Elements of Doom.
