I picked this up yesterday and I had always planned on purchasing it but I really liked it a lot. The prints are 11 x 16 or 17 I would have to remeasure but easy enough to find basic frames and if you wanted to get them professionally framed it wouldn’t be too too expensive
I’m actually hoping that they would do a volume two and include more characters that weren’t part of the large mural. Possibly seeing yellow jacket or the wasp or Ant-man and maybe other characters like Luke cage or iron fist. Also we didn’t get either captain marvel or Ms marvel.
Maybe doing a volume two with other superheroes and a volume three with super villains

Bought it a few weeks ago. Very good value for the paper quality. As many characters as it has I wish there were more as well. Luke Cage and Iron Fist would've been great for starters. Would also like to have supervillains too.

I was disappointed as I thought they were going to be close-ups of the art more like the variant comic book covers Marvel did.

How did you mean? Do you mean to say that there are multiple prints on 1 page?

The prince in the book are the full size renditions of the characters. Now there are 35 full-size drawings plus the pull outl poster which is all of the mural. When marvel printed these on their covers they only did a portrait of these people from about the chest or the waist on up

No, but there's a lot of white space on some of the pages because they printed the entire character on each page. I was hoping they would mimic the scale and cropping of the art printed on the variant comic covers.

Legit complaint but for $20 I got over it.
