An absolutely gorgeous coffee table sized book. It's packed full of not only Alex Ross's Marvel covers but sketches, childhood drawings, busts, posters, even custom figures Ross made out of construction paper as a kid. This thing is packed with jaw dropping art along with commentary from Ross. It ends with a ten page original story featuring Spider-Man against the Sinister Six.

SUPER FAST REVIEW:Okay so it’s Alex Ross. You know this artwork is gonna be pretty great! I didn’t expect him to talk so much about his childhood (even seeing some Marvel stuff he drew as a kid before becoming an official Marvel artist), love for superheroes, to go in depth about the art, etc. but it’s certainly welcome here. I also think it’s cool that it’s not just drawings featured in this book. There’s also a very exciting Spider-Man short story here!Yeah I love it and highly recommend it!5/...

I can't get enough of Alex Ross's art and this is a fantastic collection of his Marvel work. the paintings are just so perfect and lifelike. if you want to experience comic art like you have never seen grab this book. My highest recommendation

Great Illustrations. Alex Ross is an icon in the comic books industry.The quality of this book is very good, it's very big and full of color. It's a visual feast.It would be good to include more stories about the origin and process of the drawings but it's ok.If you like the art of the comic books this book is for you.

Wow! I haven’t seen comics leap out of the pages like this.Stupendously talented Alex collaborates with award-winning writer, art director, and designer Chip to give us a visually stunning first release of hundreds of drawings, sketches, and paintings of Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, the Hulk, the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and more. All drawn by hand.For the first time, Alex reveals costumes, sculptures, designs,...

Fantastic collection of Alex Ross’s work for Marvel. His painted work is unique and tremendously lifelike, which brings a whole new aesthetic to superhero comics. I have no idea how he can be so prolific given his approach, but I’m definitely thankful. A great collection for any Ross or Marvel fan. The extremely talented Chip Kidd assists with words and design.

Awesome book! Alex Ross is an icon in the comic book art world! Great illustrations!

Alex Ross has earned his reputation as the master of painted photo-realistic art.A big book like this one with glossy pages and expanded-size panel reproductions is the absolute best way to view his art.Along with the marvelous (ha!) illustrations, there are explanations of how he achieved a certain look, some background information on writer/artist collaboration, and insights into the early art career of a master, Alex Ross, that began as early as age seven.Definitely worth the asking price. It...

After Ross’ collections of DC and Dynamite art, we finally get his Marvel work. Totally worth the wait. I like and read all types of comics, superhero and non, but my first love is Marvel. The first comic book I ever picked out for myself was an Amazing Spider-man where he goes to the Savage Land. So of course I was happy to see this massive collection of gorgeous art kick off with Spidey. A little less happy to see that the drawings he did at age 11 are better than anything I’ve ever done, but

To best describe this book I will use Marvel's own adjectives: amazing, fantastic, incredible.And one of my own: brilliant.

I'm in awe of such art. Marvel is so much bigger than what we see at the theater today and *wipes tear* I just love this fandom so much!

This hulking book is incredible! Getting to see my favorite artist’s uncanny renderings of my favorite superheroes is a treat. With his mighty brush, Alex Ross transforms paint into gods. If I had to stick with one word to describe this book, it would be “Spectacular!” Or “Amazing!” Or “Marvelous!”

No surprise - as a comic book fan I love Alex Ross. I take his genius for granted a bit because he has been around for a while but I'll never forget how game changing Marvels was when it first came out. I had bought his collection of DC work so buying this was a no brainer. It is another lovely collection of his work and like the DC collection you get a never before published short story with his art (I think it has never been published before) involving Spider-man and the Sinister Six. I don't

This is another absolutely phenomenal collection of the artwork of illustrator and painter Alex Ross. This volume is focused on his art for Marvel Comics, a seeming companion to the earlier Mythology book focused on his work for DC Comics. This incredible collection is designed and curated by the wonderful Chip Kidd, and his passion for these characters and the stories behind them shows through. Chip’s layouts and interest in the visceral and physical materials of creation always inspire me. Thi...

Finally, we get the Marvel version of Ross's superb DC art showcase Mythology (which you should already own). And it is stellar. I enjoyed reading about Ross's journey into the comics, and his creative process as much as the images themselves. The added story with the Sinister Six is fantastic. The book itself is laid out well, mindful of gutter space. It isn't bulky, which is nice on the wrists as you savor the art. A collector piece.

This was so much fun to read. When Stan Lee died so many people were like but but you're all grown-ups now why are you still so invested in comics and make-believe? I loved seeing the art from when he was a kid to the art he's making as an adult how that thing you love as a child can stay with you your whole life. As a lifelong lover of sci-fi that hits home. All of the artwork is amazing my husband and son both loved this book too. Great library find.

I pretty much love any comic art that's painted. Bill Sienkiewicz. Alex Maleev. David Mack. Joelle Jones (although most of her work is illustrated, she's a painter). And Alex Ross. I love Ross's work, and I'm not sure why. It's too real, like portraiture. It's too reverent and so much larger than life. Too ... perfect and ideal and bright. But it's also powerful and hopeful. And Ross loves comics and these heroes and their stories. And I can't look away.

This artist is amazing, some of my favorite stuff is done by him. This book was great for explaining where some of his influences came from. For me I think that he is one of the most iconic artists for Marvel. If you are a fan this is a book you need to see.
