The Sharp Shopper: 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.

Mr. F. J. C. O'Reilly: Well' after reading the above comprehensive reviews, I thought I would do one that is hopefully more helpful to those wishing to know more before committing. Before that 'Amazon' please have a new policy for submitting reviews. A review should be a review of product, not on your service or condition of item, other forums for that. Anyhow' my review. This edition is 'slightly expanded from the 2011 edition, but as can see from samples does follow same format. The book's dimensions are smaller, which frankly is better for 'space' reasons. Though text is still discernible & colours vibrant. I think the odd character study is lifted directly from previous edition, whilst others are different artwork, sometimes because of a new version of a character. However what is puzzling is the choices of entries. Is the book, an overview of the existing DC Universe continuity or just general character guide? For example, presently the Justice Society of America is not present in continuity, but they are here. Some of the individual entries are dropped, whilst others remain? No 'Hourman' but still 'Doctor Mid-Nite.' Will Payton' Starman is substituted by Jack Knight, and yet the Justice League...

William Uchtman: This is a fair guide to the characters of the modern DC Universe, or what it passes for it these days. It's not really informative, each bio getting the most cursory reviews of the characters, but then DC never has made much of an attempt to make a truly informative guide. It's only worth is to provide an update on who the characters in the modern franchise are.
