4.5 rounded up to 5, a comprehensive overview of the history of various Marvel lines through ~60 years in print. Douglas Wolk read nearly everything in the Marvel Universe published between 1961 and 2017 (though I'm sure he's continued for some lines since), so these are his tour posts when considering it all as one ~500,000 page omnibus work. I thought the Iron Patriot/POTUS 45 comparisons were apt (especially considering the Iron Patriot storyline took place earlier in time), and I thought his chapter on Shang-Chi was thoughtful in considering what it was for the time.… (altro)
Unique, accessible, and downright remarkable, this clever project with surprising utility is every word worthy of its Eisner.
This is one of those books that isn't really at its best when it's dealing with the subject of its title. Its first third is about the theory and history of comics in general, and is a bit weak. The rest is made up of criticism of the works of particular creators, and is a good deal better.
