'DC Comics Super-Villains: 100 Greatest Moments: Highlights from the History of the World's Greatest Super-Villains' by Robert Greenberger is an encyclopedia of famous DC villains and their greatest story lines.
From Adolph Hitler to Vandal Savage, this is a collection of villains and the story lines they are known for. Some entries only reference one story-line. Joker has six. Along the way, I learned that the term "fridging," where a female character is killed off to provide motivation, comes from the comics. There are cosmic battles and personal grudges galore. Each entry talks about the villain, then has pages from the stories mentioned.
These books are a lot of fun, both for remembering famous story lines, and finding new ones to discover. I like the selection of villains, even if there are a few oddballs along the way (Master Mind anyone?)
I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Chartwell Books, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

Fue muy interesante leer este comic, considerando la situación, el comic sucede en un periodo tan corto de tiempo, lo que implica que desde que comienzas a leer es una acción de manera interrumpida, lucha, caída y peleas.
Es interesante ver como se relacionan los personajes, sin importar si son villanos y héroes, y como tienen su propio código para hacer las cosas.
Me pareció una lectura agradable que disfrute.

A wonderful kind of encyclopaedia of villains and there best moments, broken down into useful segments of the characters and extra longer sections for the more notorious like the joker, lex Luther and catwoman etc. A great read for those new to the comic world or the veteran reader. It’s well presented, informative and entertaining. Highly recommended to all fans.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

Great anthology that presents the 100 greatest moments from the villain of the DC universe. I enjoy this book a lot for many reasons. First it allows me to discover new villains that I didn’t know about and that, now, want to go out there and find comic with them to read more about them. Second, good old memories!! And third, well done, well organize, good pictures quality, good variety of villains as wells for the well know classic, to more obscure ones! Really good!

This is a fantastic coffee table book which does exactly what it says on the tin! I must admit that I am more of a Marvel than a DC fan (excluding Batman) but DC does know how to do great villains and this book covers pretty much all of them. It gives lots of detail (although multiverse stuff can get a bit confusing for the casual reader) and is a brilliant addition to any superhero fan's collection
