this was actually a great book. super instructing and interesting. I read it initially because I was sick of my dad and one of my best friends going on and on about how different the Marvel movies were from the comics, and never actually understanding what they were talking about lol. I had no desire to read the comics, but I wanted to know at least the basics of what happens in them, and this was the perfect way to do so!
