This is beyond awesome! The illustrations are beautiful and colorful. I love revisiting my youth through these pages. Growing up in Brooklyn, I remember waling down Flatbush Ave to go to the local comic book store with my cousin to buy the latest Spider-man issue, Lol. In Rise of the Superheroes, the extent of the information used to describe the evolution of these comic superheroes is superb. I enjoyed reading all the relevant information as it pertains to comic superheroes today and remembered all the comic books that I have read and still read today. All of my favorites were included (DC and Marvel) and even some that I had not read as a child. This is a perfect gift for both children and adults. 5 Awesome-Nostalgic Stars!!!!!
