Don't know most of the characters. This one will be fun. Since they're doing a Western Handbook of sorts, I hope a Space one will come out.

I'm really excited for this one. The 'specialty' handbooks have been some of my favorites so far (ie Golden Age, 1960s, Horror, etc). I was a little wary on the cover at first because of the use of reproduced art, but it relly grew on me. I did hear that theres a Cosmic handbook coming out as well the same month Annihilation #1 comes out.

Are you referring to the miniseries that comes after the four solo series? If there is a cosmic handbook coming, then I'll look forward to it. Hopefully a nice big entry on Thanos (my favorite cosmic character) and on others who may have been overlooked in the handbooks until now.

It's listed in the checklist on the Annihilation promo handout. Due in August, IIRC.

Yeeeeeee Haw!

I liked what little I’ve read of it. The format kind of reminds me of the monster handbook (and I’ve made to pretty clear that that particular book is one of my favorites).

I thought it was very good.The letter mentioning the death of the current host of the Phantom Rider intriged me. :outlaw:
I think the Two-Gun Kid should work on getting Kid Colt's name cleared.
