    I, although already knowing a lot of the characters, (or thinking I did), bought this because it seemed interesting. Maybe save me some time on researching and reading. Best hopeful purchase I’ve gotten in a long time! This book has beautiful writing and drawings, over 200 characters that I guarantee even a comic fanatic doesn’t know completely of. I have no complaints. The book itself was in peak condition, and what it contained is enough to keep you interested for hours! As if the drawings and descriptions weren’t enough, they include a story from the comics *and* a small imput of details about the characters! (height, hair color, age, real name, etc.) If youre a casual enjoyer or a DC fanatic, I highly recommend this book to you! (Small note, this book isn’t small. If you’re getting this to easily travel with, make sure you have a big bag 😂 if you do, it’s all good!)

    It doesn't include a few really cool ones like Zasz,Hush,Court of Owls,Talon,Professor Pyg, watchmen,ext. If it's from 2019,should add some more notable names in here (my only complaint )

  • Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2020
    I needed a book for reference in some art work. DC characters are my favorite & it’s cool getting to know those that I don’t know. The price on this book was very good compared to others. It’s great quality in every way. One point is that it’s much smaller - thinner - than I had expected. That’s just my issue. They cover most the uDC Characters but it’s not as thorough as the larger mega-pages books I have on other graphic novel/comic characters. Regardless, the book is a hard cover-like the really hard school book type covers with the sharper edges, ha! Perfect for my book shelf - the art, the descriptions, the layout are all excellent and it has helped me with the projects which I needed it.

    If superb heroes are your thing then this book is excellent. Obviously aimed at kids. I'd never heard of most of the characters but that's no surprise as I couldn't be less interested. Excellent quality book, perfectly proportioned for a small person.
