Book Summary: From the Fantastic Four to the Death of Phoenix, witness the awe and majesty of the beginnings of the Modern Marvel Universe!
Book Review: Once more into the realm of the history of the Marvel Universe. This time it is the Silver Age of the Marvel universe. Here we get into the storylines that continue to have an impact on the Marvel world especially those storylines that changed a character completely or caused a character to die. These storylines have helped build the Marvel universe and its characters into franchise winners.
Galactus is still our narrator, telling Franklin a bedtime story of the Marvel Universe. Okay, Franklin isn't a child in this but this could, in a way, be a bedtime story. After all, the Marvel Universe has perhaps ceased to exist and thus Galactus believes that Franklin may be the key to returning things? But first he will need Franklin to know the complex history of the characters in this universe, their stories, their heartbreaks, and their triumphs against the evils of the world.
The only grip I have is the story of the Phoenix Saga. There is so much behind the Phoenix story that is quite shortened at the end. Simply she rose from the ashes to only die to save the universe. I can only surmise the shortened version because of the extensive history already placed in X-Men Grand Design about the Phoenix history within the Marvel Universe but what if the readers whom are just coming to start looking into these worlds but haven't quite picked up the Grand Design series.
Still this is a must-have series for those whom are just starting to look into the Marvel universe. It well worth the chance to collect.
