I've been a HUGE fan of Marc Silvestri for as long as I can remember. I originally "discovered" him on his Wolverine run and some of his earlier X-Men books. And then the whole Image explosion happened and even though his books were late, Cyber Force was always worth the wait. But it wasn't just his initial launch title. He had a lot of good books eventually coming out of his production company and I couldn't wait to get my hands on his art. That's where Wizard Millennium Edition: Marc Silvestri comes into play. All the covers, pinups, variants as well as his regular covers are all collected under one roof. The edition follows in the same footsteps as Wizard Millennium Edition: Jim Lee (http://pennycan.createaforum.com/comic-books-and-art/wizard-millennium-edition-jim-lee-(2004)/msg16552/#msg16552) in both style and book format.

As with all of the Wizard Edition books, they fall somewhere between a regular type of comic book and a coffee table book. It's tiny and very light and will never be confused with a legitimate oversize book. As great as the book is, it's not perfect. Some of his most famous covers and relegated to thumbnail size images, making it very difficult to really see all of Marc's incredible detail. This really is a tiny problem and won't take away from the overall quality of the book. I highly recommend this as a Buy for sure.
