A great tribute, but not a "hit"

On an interesting idea (the life of a photographer who followed the arrival of superheroes in the 1940s, their disgrace and resurrection), the authors have woven a beautiful tribute to the Marvel heroes, including many references as well often only the initiated will recognize.

And therein lies the failure of its quality: a narrative that constantly seeks a clever way to multiply the winks, through the sometimes too distant gaze of the photographer who questions the necessity and power of these heroes but at the expense of the action ...

The purchase of the reader will be dictated by his desire: think about the super-hero status through a condensed history of the Marvel heroes (and "Marvels" is a reference in this case), or devour a good plot with a lot of surprises (in this case go your way).
