A review by sfian
Marvel Chronicle by Matthew K. Manning, Tom DeFalco, Peter Sanderson, Tom Brevoort

informative medium-paced

4.0

Definitely a book to dip into (this is the first book I've read alongside others for a long time), this is a bit of a mixed bag for me. Starting out chronicling the rise of Marvel from its Timely beginnings, there were lots of facts I didn't know. By the time it finished, though, just as the MCU was beginning, most entries were related to which comics series started and "major" appearances. Some of the latter felt a little like filler entries, rather than thjngs that needed chronicling. 

I would have liked a little more emphasis on the story of the company, rather than focussing wholly on the publications. 

Still, fun, informative and easy-reading, so no major complaints. Minor complaints, though, include repetition (another reason for dipping in and out) and at least one inaccuracy (although I'm blowed if I can remember what it was...)
