and#147;This manual was so complete and up to date that I learned about Deadpooland#8217;s spaceship the and#147;Bea Arthurand#8221; and then got the scoop on the latest Ghost Riderand#8217;s street rod... great mixture of diagrams and direct images from the comic. It features of all the new and classic vehicles our Marvel Heroes get around in...This book really does have it all. If you are a more modern fan of Marveland#8217;s work you will love getting the scoop on the Guardians of the Galaxyand#8217;s space ships. If you have been lost for a while and out of comics, youand#8217;ll be briefed in every single goblin glider ever... ever.and#8221;
