Another absolutely beautiful MCU book, filled with stunning work by Ryan Meinerding, the guy who's, in effect, created the look of many of the Marvel characters.
It can't be an easy job, looking at the decades of artwork filling thousands of comic book pages, and turning that into something that not only looks amazing on a massive movie screen, and also works as a real costume on a real human being, but also looks absolutely great and carries the spirit of the original.
And yet, Meinerding has been doing it for decades now. This is a wonderful and fitting tribute to the guy behind the look of the MCU.

For anyone interested in Marvel, how art tells a story, and the origin story of the artist who has made a big impact on the MCU and more. What separates this from the other Art of Making MCU books is that Ryan shares his journey with us the readers.

Full of neat insights and gorgeous art from Ryan Meinerding, an unsung hero of the MCU.
