Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
This copiously illustrated encyclopedia chronicles more than 1,000 DC Comics characters from the 1930s to the present. Arranged alphabetically, each entry gives the first appearance, status (hero, villain, etc.), real name, occupation, height, weight, and eye and hair color of the superheroes or supervillains. Special abilities and superpowers are also listed along with ample cross-references to other comic characters or superleague affiliations, such as the L.E.G.I.O.N. cosmic peacekeeping force.
The biographical entries make fascinating reading in alternative history. For example, the Crimson Avenger served in a league called the Seven Soldiers of Victory during World War II. Afterward, he was sent backward in time. He came forward in time and discovered that he was struck with a terminal disease. After his death, an unknown woman purchased two guns that had belonged to him. These guns transformed her into Crimson Avenger II, who became an agent of vengeance and execution. Of course, famous characters such as Wonder Woman or Batman are included. But lesser-known characters, such as Superman's college flame, Lori Lemaris (a mermaid), are also listed.
The colorful design makes this book a pleasure to browse. Special two-page features, such as "Amazing Weapons" and "Romantic Moments," are interspersed with the biographies. Recommended for public libraries with active comic readership. Jack O'Gorman

这本书带给我的最大体验,是一种**时间跨度的震撼感**。它不是孤立地介绍角色,而是将每个英雄或反派的故事线**编织进DC历史的长河中**。通过阅读,我清晰地看到了不同“时代”的更迭,角色的价值观是如何随着社会环境的变化而调整的。比如,对某个角色在七十年代的侧重和在现代的重塑,其背后的创作意图和文化映射,都有非常精妙的对比分析。它让你不仅知道了“发生了什么”,更让你思考“**为什么会这样发生**”。这种叙事手法,让那些几十年前的漫画故事突然重新获得了鲜活的生命力,因为你知道它们是如何一步步影响到今天我们看到的最新故事线的。这本书成功地构建了一座连接过去、现在与未来的**时间桥梁**,让你深刻体会到这个超级英雄世界是如何**历经磨难、不断自我革新**,最终形成如今宏大图景的。我简直对创作者们的这种**长线运营能力**肃然起敬!
评分老实说,当我刚打开这本书的时候,我有点被它的**学术气息**给震慑住了。它不是那种让你轻松翻阅、边看边笑的轻松读物,它更像是一本**严谨的学术档案汇编**。内容的组织结构极其清晰,那种条理分明的罗列方式,让人不得不佩服编辑团队的专业素养。不同于一些偏重于叙事回顾的书籍,它似乎更专注于**“事实核查”和“数据归档”**。比如关于某个角色的首次出现时间、创作者信息、使用的能力范围的精确界定,都有非常明确的标记。这种处理方式的好处是,当你需要快速查找某个特定信息时,效率极高。缺点嘛,如果你是刚入坑的新手,可能会觉得一开始有点**信息过载**,需要一个适应期来消化这些海量、高度结构化的数据。但对于希望建立一个**坚实知识体系**的老读者来说,这种近乎冷酷的客观和详尽,才是最宝贵的财富。
评分说真的,这本书的**视觉呈现**简直是艺术品级别的享受!我原本以为这种“百科全书”类型的书,通常会为了塞下更多文字信息而牺牲版面设计,充其量就是一些模糊的早期插画或者简单的角色卡片。但是《XXXX》完全颠覆了我的预期。它的**排版设计极其考究**,色彩的运用大胆而精准,既保留了漫画原汁原味的风格,又通过现代的布局技巧,让厚厚的一本书读起来毫无压力。那些关键角色的**高清原画展示**,特别是那些标志性的服装设计演变过程,简直让人目不转睛。我尤其喜欢它对不同“宇宙线”(Continuity)之间视觉风格差异的体现,比如从‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’前后的画风对比,那种细腻的笔触变化都能被清晰地捕捉和呈现。这哪里是参考书,这分明是**一本高质量的艺术画册**啊!翻阅它的过程本身就是一种享受,感觉就像在欣赏一部浓缩了数十年漫画史的视觉盛宴,每一个跨页都充满了冲击力。
评分这本书最让我感到**惊喜和满足**的地方,在于它对于**“非核心”故事线和角色群体的挖掘深度**。我们都知道超人、蝙蝠和神奇女侠的重要性,但很多同类书籍往往就止步于此,对于那些在某个特定时期闪耀过,但很快就被边缘化的角色,往往寥寥数语带过。然而,《XXXX》却给了这些“二线英雄”和“反派配角”应有的尊重和篇幅。我花了很长时间研究了关于“局外人(Outsiders)”或者特定城市(比如星城、蓝谷)的背景介绍,里面详细描述了那些**错综复杂的人际关系和地区政治生态**,这极大地丰富了我对整个DC世界观的理解。它让你意识到,DC宇宙远比你想象的要**广袤和层次丰富**。这不仅仅是超级英雄的故事,更是关于社群、法律、科技和道德在不同环境下相互作用的社会学研究。这本书成功地将一个“漫画宇宙”提升到了一个**复杂的虚拟社会体系**的高度。
评分哇塞,这本书的**信息密度**简直要把我的脑容量撑爆了!我本来以为这本《XXXX》会是那种走马观花、蜻蜓点水的介绍,毕竟要涵盖那么多角色的历史和背景,难度可想而知。但事实是,它就像一个**超级英雄的私人档案馆**,每一个条目都经过了细致入微的挖掘和梳理。我光是翻阅“正义联盟”的早期起源部分,就花了整整一个下午,里面对不同时期核心成员变动的原因、关键事件的解读,简直是**教科书级别**的严谨。作者显然不是随便找维基百科拼凑一下就交差了事,他们深入到了那些漫画连载的黄金时代、白银时代的细枝末节,连一些边缘角色的首次登场、能力升级的微小节点都没有放过。看得出来,这绝对是**资深死忠粉**的毕生心血结晶,那种对细节的偏执和热爱,隔着书页都能扑面而来。如果你想对DC宇宙有一个**百科全书式的、全面且深入的认知**,这本书绝对是你的首选装备,准备好迎接知识的洪流吧!它不仅仅是罗列事实,更是在构建一个**立体而复杂的宇宙模型**。
