In the 70s, I discovered comics. I was ten years old. More than fifty years later, I still love them, and what Marvel is now putting up on the screen? Yeah, that's a comic geek's dream come true.

I honestly thought I pretty much had the timeline worked out in my head. But this book, while it starts simple, does a great job of laying out the "what happened when" stuff in this big, messy universe.

And one thing I was surprised about? There's surprisingly few timeline gaffs that have occurred over the years. That's impressive, and so is this book. The only thing is, give it a few more years, and they're going to have to completely revise it and tuck in all the other stuff.
