The Marvel Comics Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Characters of the Marvel Universe by Alastair Dougall, Siu Chan, Robert Perry, Julia March, Hanna Ländin, Nick Avery, Alex Allan, Rochelle Talary, Jill Bunyan, Simon Beecroft

3.0

Does exactly what it says on the tin: provides an extensive (if inevitably incomplete and ever more out of date, given its 2010 publishing date) account of characters and events in the Marvel Universe. It's certainly a solid effort at the subject, though if what you actually want is exhaustive and up to the minute information on Marvel, you'd be better off hitting up the online wiki. Get this if what you want instead is a big old coffee table book of Marvel stuff.
