Industry Reviews
"This manual was so complete and up to date that I learned about Deadpool's spaceship the "Bea Arthur" and then got the scoop on the latest Ghost Rider's street rod... great mixture of diagrams and direct images from the comic. It features of all the new and classic vehicles our Marvel Heroes get around in...This book really does have it all. If you are a more modern fan of Marvel's work you will love getting the scoop on the Guardians of the Galaxy's space ships. If you have been lost for a while and out of comics, you'll be briefed in every single goblin glider ever... ever."

Clocking in at 160 pages, this is as close as you'll come to having a Kelley Blue Book equivalent for the Marvel Universe... perfect for gearheads and True Believers alike."
