Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Avengers 2004

Assuming you have sufficient interest in the lineup of the Avengers to drop four dollars on this handbook, but don’t yet know the information within, The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Avengers is a satisfyingly complete guide to the team, their base, transport, history, power ratings and complete roster. Still, the book might benefit from a little entertainment value, something like a tour of the mansion or an enemy attack to illustrate its schematics more dynamically. Compiling previously printed art with straight text, the book’s economy suggests its real purpose is to provide a quick, easy reference to Marvel writers and editors.
