Great Animation and Information! Loved this and being I am not a comic guy and only know story lines via cartoons and movies so this filled in the blanks and back stories, orgins and the anamation is great.
DC At the rate Character Bio's change within the DC Universe its amazing that an Encyclopedia can even be put together at all but since a lot of the writers now a days are referencing characters i might not be familiar with, this Book at least makes it possible to get an idea about who it is or was at one point... its only drawback is because of when it was published a small percent of the information is not canon with todays stories.
Zap! Pow! Bam! Book delivered the powerful punch I was expecting. Bought for my son and he loves it. It is very informative.
Almost there This is a great product for any DC fan. The only issue that may be had is a desire for more. Many less well known and darker characters are left out, also seemingly no character within Vertigo are present. Still a great buy.
Awesome! I got this book as a gift to an avid comic book fan. He says that although there may be a character or two missing, the book was well done and pretty much accurate. For newbie collectors, this is really informative.
