This review is from: Essential Marvel Saga - Volume 2 (v. 2) (Paperback)
This was an attempt by Marvel, in the late 80s, to allow new readers to get up to speed on all of the character's origins and major events. The series started off by trying to put everything together in chronological order, which ended up with a lot of pages containg a hodgepodge of various art styles. As it went on the series tended to focus one one character or group at a time, and recalled their entire history up to that point. It ended after 25 issues, but managed to cover all of the major events in the Marvel Universe, at that time.
The problem is, of course, that events in the Marvel Universe have been retconned so much that a lot of the material is out of date. So if you're going to buy the book in order to have a history of the Marvel Universe, you might want to pass. If you're into nostaligia, or looking at the vision of the Marvel Universe proir to 1990, or a fanatic Marvel Essentials collector then this is the book for you. |
