Marvel Anatomy: A Scientific Study of the Superhuman

Marvel Anatomy is a stunning book. The descriptions flow, get into charming details, and are fun to read. The art ... will take your breath away. This is a book you’ll want to show off to your friends, whether they’re serious comic book readers and MCU fans, or they’ve never heard of the Hulk. The book is an absolute treat. Full disclosure I have met the artist in person and I've followed his work for years. My reaction to the preorder announcement for this book was to say "of course," and "at last!" Jonah's ability to create and convey realistic anatomy for the most fantastical of characters is one of his superpowers as an artist. (M.O.D.O.K. and Jocasta are two of my favorites so far). The character’s faces in particular are drawn here such that they are immediately identifiable, but presented with a rare dose of humanity and a very welcome individualization that we see in only the best comic book work. Expressions on characters such as Namor, Scott Summers, and Jean Gray show a real understanding of the characters’ personalities and bring our their essence. If you’re a fan of Marvel’s incredible stable of characters, you’ll find them presented here with detailed anatomy, cutaways, and mind-blowing illustrations of key items such as Spidey’s web-shooters. This is a fun book that will be a welcome addition to any collection or coffee table, and it will make an awesome gift for any Marvel fan.

Interesting and in depth read. Goes into a lot of detail. Good read for any marvel enthusiast.

I love Marvel and just comics in general. So seeing this book and being able to read it was really cool and really takes you on a deep dive to the marvel universe. With a mix of science, fantasy, and some speculation, the book does a great job capturing how marvel heroes and villains powers work, and if you’re into comics or into the marvel universe I would highly recommend this book for you.

It’s an interesting read! Love the art and the information. Some of the information is inaccurate, but it is written from the perspective of T’Challa, so you can infer that the ‘incorrect’ information is speculation. A bit bummed that some of my personal favorites aren’t included (Doom, Prof X) but overall very good and fun to read! Would highly recommend. I do wish the listing had shown the list of who was shown in the book, though.

The ‘science’ behind Marvel’s greatest heroes and villains is detailed, written, and illustrated really well! It’s a great collectible for any fan.

It’s a gift. It hasn’t been opened yet so I’ll leave an update later. Book arrived in good condition. Looks beautiful!

Great book quality. Its also a very large book so you get plenty of room to see the beautiful art in this book and absolutely awesome muscle framework, as well as a lot of very cool suit makeup and genetic makeup. The author most definitely knew that everybody would be very interested in the pages on Wolverine and the mutants, and they did not disappoint. Many visuals for Wolverine and a lot of awesomeness for all the Uncanny X-Men. Very interesting book and absolutely awesome explanations for the pseudoscience described in marvel. Phenomenal book!

I bought this for my grandson for Christmas. He loves Marvel comics, and he is going to love this book!
