Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Teams 2005

    (Marvel, 2005)

New and old fans alike can benefit from the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe books, which serve the same purpose as a ballpark program. Even the most dedicated Marvel Zombie may have a hard time remembering the players on each team, so this handy guide gives a brief overview of most of the major and minor superhero organizations in the Marvel Universe. Each entry includes a list of current and past members, issue number of the team’s first appearance, headquarter info, a group picture, and a history of the team. While the book surprisingly lacks an entry for Marvel’s first family, The Fantastic Four, it provides plenty of information on the Avengers, the X-Men, and even Power Pack.
