I have the DC Comics Encyclopedia worried me, because I have only started about a year ago, to read comics and I have the whole tangled involvements in different worlds, dead and resurrected characters and the sheer huge flood of heroes and villains admittedly initially a little confused , In addition to a little conscious and aided by advice from various comic Forum selection first comics I have then this comic Encyclopedia worried and was not disappointed. There are really mad introduced many heroes and villains, when they had their first gig and how they fit into the comic universe of DC. There are even very detailed introductions, which also always take into account the continuity of these individual series to known comic book heroes with their own series (Batman, Superman, Flash, JLA, etc.). That is why I feel that this compilation was absolutely helpful for my introduction to the world of DC Comics and it can others who want to have a good introductory material accompanying the comic entry, just put your heart. The DC Comics Encyclopedia also really comes therefore beautiful. The format is indeed quite large and useless egrade on the go, but that is not expected as a rule, of an encyclopedia, right? Images selection, presentation and quality can absolutely not to be desired. Also, the price of less than € 30 is - just what the hobby Comics terms - not too much to ask.
