Marvel handbook done right September 16, 2008

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.

The contents here include: Earthmover; Elf with a Gun; Elixir; Elysius; Holly-Ann Ember; Empathoid; Emplate; Enchantress; Enforcers; Epoch; Equinox; Ereshkigal; Eric the Red; Ero; Eternal Brain; Eternals; Eternity; Euroforce; Euro-Trash; Eurth; Excalibur; Exemplars; Exiles (World War II); Exiles (dimension-hopping); Exodus; Eye Killers; Ezekiel; Faceless Ones; Factor Three; Falcon (Wilson); Fallen One (Galactus herald); Fantastic Five (MC-2); Fantastic Five (Spider-Man); Fantastic Force; Fantastic Four; Fantomex; Father Darklyte; Father Time (Scott); Fathom Five; Femme Fatales; Ferocia; Feron; Fight-Man; Fin (Noble); Fin Fang Foom; Firebird; Firelord; Firepower; Firestar; First Line; Richard Fisk; Vanessa Fisk; Fixer (Ebersol); Flag Smasher; Flex; Fly; Flying Duchman's Ghost; Flying Tiger; Folding Circle; Followers of the Light; Foolkiller (Everbest); Foolkiller (Gerhardt); Force (Wilson); Force Four; Force Works; Forge; Don Fortunado; Fox (Slinker); Frankenstein's Monster; Freedom Ring; Free Spirit; Friday (Iron Man's computer program); Frightful Four; Frog-Man (Patilio); Deacon Frost; Emma Frost; Rumiko Fujikawa; Fury (cybiote); Nick Fury; Fusion (Fusser twins); Fusion (Markley); Gabriel the Air-Walker; Gabriel the Devil-Hunter; Gaea; Galactic Guardians; Galactus; Galaxy Master; Gambit; Gamesmaster; Gamma Corps; Gamma Mutates; Gamora; Ganymede; Gargoyle (Christians); John Garrett; Gatherers; Geist; Vera Gemini; Generation X; Genesis; Genosha; Geshem; Ghost; Ghost Dancer; Ghost Rider (Blaze); Ghost Rider (2099 AD); Gibbon; Gilgamesh; Gladiator (Potter); Gladiators; Glob; Glorian; Gnobians; Ma Gnucci; Goddess; Goldbug; Golem (creature); Goliath (Bill Foster); Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Book; Gorgon (Shishido); Gorilla-Man (Hale); Grand Director; Grandmaster; Glory Grant; Graviton; Gravity; Great Game; Great Lakes Initiative; Great One; Grey Gargoyle; Griffin; Grim Hunter; Grim Reaper; Grizzly (Markham); Guardian (James Hudson); and Guardians of the Galaxy.
I'm happy they used the '85-'86 OHOTMUDE picture of Eternity in this volume- it's still great. I really hope people are buying these things- I'm in it for the whole series. From what I can tell, interest is picking up. Maybe Marvel will release the whole thing digitally at some point with a cheaper overall price? It'd be nice...
