The Marvel Book: Expand Your Knowledge Of A Vast Comics Universe

Product Information

Gamora arrives on Torndune—a once-lush planet that has been strip-mined for the power source beneath its surface—with a mission: collect the heart of the planet. She doesn't know who sent her, why they want it, or even what the heart of a planet looks like. But as the right hand and daughter of Thanos, and one of the galaxy's most legendary warriors, her job is not to ask questions. Her job is to do what she's told, no matter the cost.

Peter Parker is still learning the ropes—er, webs?—as Spider-Man, and he has a new partner in crime-fighting in his new girlfriend MJ Watson. But having someone who knows his secret makes this high school romance more complicated, not less—especially when a mysterious social media account starts alerting Peter to crimes before they happen. But is it just a smokescreen for a new villain, pulling Spider-Man’s strings—er, webs? From Titan Books: A shapeshifting alien race invades the Marvel Universe in this exciting re-imagining of the bestselling comic book event by Brian Michael Bendis and Leinil Francis Yu. The second book in the hit Young Prince series from Ronald L. Smith, recipient of the 2016 Coretta Scott King/John Steptoe New Talent Author Award. A foreword by Leigh Bardugo, a scholarly introduction and apparatus by José Alaniz, and a general series introduction by Ben Saunders offer further insight into the enduring significance of the Avengers and classic Marvel comics. FANTASTIC FOUR Of course, the effort eventually becomes almost insane by the time that we get to the last section ('Alternate Worlds and Divergent Timelines'). Even the authors recognise that having so many heroes constantly die and be revived and having so many variants is taking credibility to the limit.
