Sinossi
Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Wolverine, e persino Deadpool, Shang-Chi, i Guardiani della Galassia... L'immaginario Marvel ha conquistato il mondo, ma nessuno lo avrebbe immaginato nel 1962, quando Stan Lee e gli altri ebbero l'idea di creare "supereroi con superproblemi" in cui i ragazzi potessero identificarsi: Spider-Man sparava ragnatele e scalava grattacieli, ma era come loro, con le loro stesse ansie, speranze e paure. Sono passati i decenni, quei ragazzi sono cresciuti e le infinite storie di Eroi, mutanti, mostri & meraviglie si sono accumulate intrecciandosi tra loro in un unico grande universo che ha iniziato a parlare a sempre più persone, di età, estrazione e interessi disparati. Commedia, fantasy, romance, epica, fantascienza, gotico, avventura: tutta la cultura alta e bassa veniva ogni settimana messa dagli autori Marvel in un grande frullatore, riciclando e innovando senza freni. Intanto, là fuori, il mondo cambiava, la società evolveva nel bene e nel male, e tutto questo si proiettava nell'universo Marvel, che ha continuato a espandersi tra fumetti, film, cartoni, videogiochi fino a diventare la più lunga storia ininterrotta mai raccontata, amata da miliardi di persone. Douglas Wolk, studioso e appassionato, ha preso di petto la missione impossibile di leggere tutti i 27 000 fumetti Marvel, e restituirne l'essenza magica in questo libro colossale e spassoso, andando finalmente al cuore di questa nuova e coloratissima mitologia pop globale.

Recensioni
The author read all 500,000+ pages of Marvel comics, and this is the product of that. I'm disappointed. Of all the things he could have done with the project, he chose summarizing plots (60% of this book) over actual critical analysis (10%). He chose providing a guide to the trailheads into the moun Leggi tutto
Douglas Wolk decided he was going to read over 27,000 Marvel Comics, starting in the early 60s and going up to the present time. He then wrote a book detailing his experiences and observations on the comics he loved as a kid and as an adult. The tone for this book is conversational and at times humo Leggi tutto
Not so much focused on the company’s and creators’ histories, but rather on the actual characters, canon, arcs, shifts, trends, and how the universe connects. Inspired by his son, Wolk read over 27,000 Marvel stories resulting in this phenomenal rundown. I’ve read only a few of the comics, but like Leggi tutto
All Of The Marvels seems initially to fit into the “man does a ridiculous project” genre of books, like the Babel Message or even Around Ireland With A Fridge. But the method in the madness moves beyond “someone does something so they can then writer about it” into, “this is the culture – isn’t it?” Leggi tutto
Very well researched and laid out book covering this massive storyline. Recommended
All of the Marvels promises to give readers a tour of the Marvel Universe based on the stories told in the 20,000+ comics published during the existence of Marvel Comics. Douglas Wolk indicates early on that he could not touch on all of the Marvel Comics storylines due to time and space constraints, Leggi tutto
Rounding up from 4.5 stars Of course, I'm predisposed to like a well-written book about comics, but I love how this was put together. Wolk is able to take a macro-view of the Marvel Universe, while also not afraid to get micro. It's smart, it's fun, and it's realistic. Ultimately, it makes me want to Leggi tutto
Douglas Wolk’s journey through almost 60 years of Marvel Comics (which amounts to over 27,000 separate comic books) is quite an achievement. I used to work with Wolk when I edited and designed the publications for San Diego Comic-Con. He wrote articles on various topics for Comic-Con Magazine and th Leggi tutto
