A very quick read but gave -minimal- insight to the characters & their abilities, the environments, some promo, and the cut scenes & storyboards. Overall: these are more-so showing off the finalized sketches rather than any brainstormed sketches or rough drafts, so there wasn't much to see for those who already know the game & play. I still enjoyed looking through.

Great collection of art!
I hope when they inevitably release the next one they consider asking the artists/game designers their thought process when designing these maps and character skins. They didn’t really have any of that which was disappointing.
I really think the game’s lore should’ve been more prevalent in this book as well—the characters got crazy short summaries which is weird considering the game is chock full of lore.

75% of this book is just interpretations of classic Marvel characters with 2 or 3 new ones thrown in. I suppose if you play the game (I don’t) this might be interesting but there’s not much to it. The art is okay.
