I'm glad that there is a new Handbook, despite the format. Speaking of which, I see this book has another change, probably to make it more like the text from the Dawn of X books. Also, some of the pictures that show the current costume of the character are eye-strainingly small (Magik and Wolverine in particular), although this has been a problem with the current style of Handbook. Kind of ironic, considering one of the reasons the Handbooks were started was to provide a clear image of the characters costume. Also, I just don't like the current direction of the X-Men books. Hopefully, the suits will back off and we'll see the return of the long-running style of Handbooks.
Also, I don't care for the fading grey squares that are part of the power grids.

They are in black and white, with art that appears to have been copied/traced from original sources. There are two and sometimes three entries on a page with short write-ups (sometimes called "Capsule History") about the character and what books they appeared in.

I should add - I previously stated that I didn't think there were any video game robots in the picture. I've double checked, and I was incorrect. There are a small number. No idea if they have also appeared in cartoons based on said games, but I felt I should correct my earlier error, in case anyone was discounting options because of what I said.
Speaking of which, N is Claptrap from the Borderland series of video games (and also Poker Night 2)
