This whompin' (six-pound-plus) compendium of Marvel Comics, year-by-year, runs from its modest beginning in the Forties to the censorship movements of the Fifties and on through many twists and turns of style until reaching today's pre-eminence among American purveyors of comics. As a coffee-table book almost as bag as a real coffee table, YEAR BY YEAR has lots going for it but a few questions remain: why wasn't the cover a harder glaze, given that the book was meant to sell at twice today's going price? Was/Is Marvel really pick of the pack or just a top survivor? And how will the house function today, after the great Stan Lee's passing? You won't find those answers here, but you will find an onslaught of color art for more than half the 20th Century and part of the 21st. Recommended.

Coffee table books, in general, are supposed to be pretty books with big, colourful pictures and a concise yet comprehensive amount of writing to make it worthy of display. Marvel Year by Year is thus a perfect examples of how a coffee table book is supposed to look like. We are presented with a beautiful book that tells the story of Marvel from conception to the present, year by year, in chronological order with extraordinary artwork – by Marvel itself – to add a little something extra to this true, remarkable story. The foreword is by Stan Lee, the afterword by Joe Quesada… it’s updated and expanded, and frankly it would give any comic book lover wet dreams for weeks.
Marvel Year by Year isn’t just a beautiful book that’s filled with images of comic heroes and super villains, which we obviously all love and adore, it’s also a showcase of the evolution of art, plots, humans and so on. The colour coded years, which makes it easy to find something specific in this large book, it’s easy to see how human history and specific events crossed over and influenced the comics. The tireless effort into creating this magnificent piece of art (it will never just be a book, it’s a piece of art through and through), is not only beautiful and informative, but also something that should be in every library.
Is Marvel Year by Year: A Visual Chronicle expensive? Yes, unfortunately this book is going to be a little expensive for the everyday Joe, but it’ll be worth every penny you spend. What’s more is that I’m fairly sure Marvel Year by Year would make any man a very happy man, especially if he has a love for comic books and superhero stuff. It’s the perfect gift, and seeing as Valentine’s Day is coming up, now’s the right time to start saving your money, ladies. I mean, if he doesn’t ask you to marry him after you present this bad boy as a Valentine’s Day gift to him, he really isn’t worth your time…

An Excellent book for any Marvel fan!
December 7, 2019
An excellent book covering the history of Marvel Comics from their beginnings in 1939 up through 2016. It’s broken down year-by-year, covering the major themes, characters, artists, writers, and cross-over events in full color and detailed text. The look and feel (and hefty weight) of this book projects very high quality on every page. In addition, events happening in the real world are included on each page, providing a firm anchor to history. The information is comprehensive and the artwork (most of which is actual cover art) is exceptional.
The book is set up like an encyclopedia, making it easy to look up any year you may be interested in. I, being the sort of reader that I am, chose to read it straight through from cover to cover. I made it one of my “project” books for this year, taking all twelve months to make my way through it, generally at a pace covering two to three chapters/years each week during the year.
This has been a great experience for me and I have certainly learned a vast amount about Marvel Comics. For those whose knowledge is limited to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this book is an especially important resource. It's fascinating to see how the movies are really quite different from the source material in so many ways, yet manage to combine so much of the structure and skeleton of the comics.
Many people these days feel the need to choose between DC or Marvel, and it seems most pick a side and stick to it. Not me. Whether we are talking about comics, movies, or television shows, I am comfortable with both as well as material from other companies. In fact, last year I read the DC Comics version of this book which was equally enjoyable. Now I guess I’ll be in search of something similar that covers other comic companies’ histories, if they exist.

and
Marvel Year by Year a Visual Chronicle (2013)
After a very brief examination of the 2008 book and the 2017 book (I don't yet have a copy of the 2013 edition) I'd say the revisions slant more towards addition than subtraction. It's just a bigger book and it's easy to see why. They've added substantial material covering the most recent years. Not sure what if anythings been cut though. Will have a closer comparison soon-ish. I do love these books.
Thought I'd lost Chronicle but I just found it whilst dust the very top of a book case. Been hidden there for nearly a decade under a framed piece of Murphy Anderson art! Dusted it off and it's all in perfect mint condition!

Merci à Babelio et aux éditions Hors Collection pour l’envoi de ce livre en échange d’une chronique honnête.
Un petit commentaire avant d’entrer dans le vif du sujet : je connais très peu les comics Marvel. En dehors des X-Men, que j’ai découvert il y a un bon moment (grâce aux séries animées si je ne m’abuse) et pour lesquels je m’étais amusée à commencer la lecture dès le début de la série. Oui, les comics de 1963, mais je me suis arrêtée aux années 1980 et j’en garde finalement peu de souvenir, il faudra que je reprenne. Sinon mes maigres connaissances viennent des films, séries et documentaires que j’ai pu voir mais aussi des critiques de différents livres et, encore mieux, des discussions que j’ai pu avoir ou entendre avec des personnes passionnées par le sujet !
Générations Marvel me semblait l’occasion parfaite d’en apprendre plus et d’élargir mes connaissances sur le sujet. En plus d’avoir réussi cela, j’ai aussi à présent une idée bien plus claire des comics précis qui m’intéressent et que je voudrais lire avec plaisir ! Même si, il paraît important de le rappeler, il n’est pas possible de revenir sur toutes les histoires Marvel en 400 pages, il s’agit donc bien d’une sélection des comics les plus marquants, ce qui reste tout à fait subjectif et loin d’être exhaustif.
Le livre est découpé en décennies et commence logiquement en 1939, pour terminer en 2016. Le tout est précédé d’un avant-propos de Stan Lee et d’une introduction de Tom DeFalco, qui semble avoir été commissionné pour l’écriture des années 1950, 1960 et 1980. Chaque décennie commence avec une courte remise en contexte des événements précédents et de ce qui est à venir. Puis, sur une à deux double pages, les événements et comics de l’année sont présentés : tout d’abord avec une présentation globale de l’année en question, puis les sorties de comics marquantes par mois et enfin, un encadré sur les événements historiques et les sorties cinématographiques qui avaient alors lieu. Je ne m’attendais pas du tout à cette dernière partie mais je la trouve tout à fait pertinente, elle permet de resituer sommairement le contexte des publications, qui a objectivement influencé les histoires publiées.
J’ai abordé le livre comme une histoire de la maison d’édition Marvel à lire de la première page à la dernière, mais je pense que ce n’est pas la meilleure façon de lire et d’utiliser cet ouvrage. En effet, après lecture, je l’envisage plus comme une encyclopédie où l’on pourrait aller vérifier une information, se renseigner sur une décennie ou sur une année en particulier. La lecture chronologique a des moments redondants puisqu’on retrouve souvent des répétitions entre la fin d’une décennie, la présentation de la décennie qui suit, puis la présentation de la première année… ou même d’une présentation d’année à une autre. Ce fut particulièrement pénible lors de ma lecture, où j’avais l’impression de perdre mon temps, là où j’aurai pu avoir de nouvelles informations (mais bon, je n’avais pas vraiment l’occasion, au vu des circonstances, d’utiliser l’ouvrage comme une encyclopédie). D’ailleurs, l’ouvrage se termine sur un index qui permet justement de retrouver les pages qui abordent un·e créateur·rice ou un personnage en particulier.
Puisqu’on parle du texte… j’étais très déçue de trouver un grand nombre de coquilles, d’erreurs orthotypographiques (manque de chance, par déformation professionnelle j’ai tendance à les repérer) et de phrases qui ne faisaient pas sens. J’entends bien que le livre n’est pas là pour présenter la plume du siècle… mais j’attends toujours que les livres publiés soient passés par suffisamment de couches de relectures et corrections pour que ce genre de choses n’arrive pas (ou en tout cas, le moins possible). Mais c’était au point parfois où il manquait des verbes dans des phrases, ou alors des phrases étaient si confuses qu’il fallait les relire plusieurs fois pour comprendre le sens. Peut-être cela vient de la traduction, mais ce n’est pas plus excusable.
Au niveau de l’objet livre, Générations Marvel a tout du beau livre avec un (très) grand format, une couverture cartonnée, du papier épais et glacé, le tout pour que les nombreuses illustrations puissent être mises en avant. Et ce livre fourmille de dessins, que ce soient des premières de couvertures qui illustrent les comics dont il est question, des extraits plus précis d’aventures (dont un où les dialogues n’ont pas été traduits… j’imagine que c’était une erreur puisque tous les autres le sont) ou des doubles pages qui permettent d’observer des illustrations plus grandes (ou plus petites mais agrandies… ce dont je doute de la pertinence). Bref, l’idée est d’en prendre plein la vue et de pouvoir observer le travail des plus grands artistes Marvel, et c’est réussi. D’ailleurs, cerise sur le gâteau, la troisième de couverture présente deux tirages exclusifs d’une œuvre de Dan Panosian, qui a été utilisée pour la couverture, et qui reprend les plus grands personnages édités par Marvel à travers les années.
Je ressors de cette lecture avec une meilleure compréhension de l’univers Marvel et de ce que j’avais pu entendre à son sujet (ou au sujet d’histoires en particulier), mais tout de même un peu frustrée du manque de « finition » de cet ouvrage au niveau des textes.

There’s quite a lot more information about Marvel comics in here than I needed, so I didn’t read every word, though I did glance or more-than-glance at or even read most of the very colourful and nicely laid out pages. A fascinating genre, had I world enough and time to explore it further, but even more fascinating is the publishing and reading phenomenon of the comic.
I also learned from this book — which merely scrapes the surface of the detail of one publisher’s comics (and graphic novels? are any of these graphic novels? see, I really don’t know my stuff here) — that I am not a “fan” of anything. I am a mere enthusiast for the things I like (and a true amateur at many things I spend time on) but do not measure up to actual fan-ness. Real fans would probably think this book was a bit lite or not detailed enough about the storylines/worlds/artists they like, but it seemed to me that a lot of work had gone into it, and I respect that. Notably absent from this book was much interest in the “universe” of Marvel films. Sure, only a few had been made (though more X-Men and Spider-Man films were already out there) when it was published, but it was still quite refreshing.
[Books on other people’s bookshelves are always a wonderful (set of) thing(s) to behold. Not just those in the libraries of National Trust houses, but those scattered around the abodes of friends and family. Dangerous, too.]

December 15, 2017browsed last hundred pages articling information on Marvel Comics around the 2000s, when its moviemaking arm ignited. as the title says this is a year-by-year chronology of the publications of Marvel, tracking not only how the superhero characters evolved but also how the brand and the comic book market evolved. Reading this one can notice how heavily and directly movie storylines converge with earlier print runs, and since this book tracks the latest comic releases where the newest Avengers are resurgent, moviegoers hoping to get hints of what the next phase of Marvel studios will contain can read here and (probably) find out.

It is an interesting look throughout all of the marvel comics with mentions of the marvel movies and TV shows. It includes pictures and artwork from the original comics as well as the comic covers. If you like Marvel, then you would find this book being one of the better ones to reference. It also includes short summaries of what was happening within the world during the year.
All in all: this book is a 4.95 out of 5 since certain things are focused on more than others and, if you want to learn more about a specific character, you won't find much outside of when they were in a comic or when they got their own comics as well as when they were created or first shown.

I was a Marvel comics reader from the early 1960s and read some of their titles until I finally gave up in 1991 exasperated by the increasing violence and too many crossover stories designed to encourage you to buy titles you did not usually buy. I bought this book and enjoyed reading about Marvel from the 1940s to the 1980s but then I put it down and now months later I thought it was about time I finished it. Frankly I was not much interested in Marvel from the 1990s to date and reading about that era made me glad I had quit reading comics when I did! It's a visually appealing book with lots of artwork from comics over the decades.

Marvel Year by Year: A Visual Chronicle (DK, 2013) was an impressive 10 x 12, 384-page journey into the history of the world-famous entertainment company dating back to 1939, when it was called Timely Publications. The stories behind the creation of iconic characters such as the Hulk, Spider-Man, the Avengers and the X-Men were fascinating. A few parts were difficult to read without a magnifying glass due to occasional artistic shading and white-on-black printing. Clearly, the industry needs more input from female and “minority” contributors, but I highly recommend this book.

So, the Marvel Movie Universe may be complex, but it's nothing compared to the Marvel Comic Universe. This fantastic, downright exhaustive tome traces the beginnings and development of virtually EVERY character and story-line in the Marvel Universe. The graphics and artwork are great, the summaries are concise and well done, and the way they are presented in a year-by-year makes it a great read. I really enjoyed the "in the news that year" wrap up at the end of each chapter.

Fun coffee-table book filled with tons of month-by-month info-capsules on important issues from throughout Marvel's history. I found myself first reading about all the stuff going on when I was buying new comics in the late 80s/early 90s, then seeing what they had to say about older stuff that I've checked out recently, and finally going all the way back to the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby 60s.
October 30, 2013
i had the wrong idea about this book when i got it i thought that it was going to be about the characters rather than the comics themselves. i wish that the book would have introduced all of the characters and then put in a timeline the progression i would have found that more interesting
July 17, 2014
Great book for every Marvel fan. Although I've got a feeling that they missed to summarize some of the big events in X-men franchize, like Messiah Complex. Still - a great thing to read if you want to catch-up on biggest events from Marvel's Universe.

A coffee table book that is a comprehensive overview of Marvel, the company and it’s characters.
Beautiful illustrations accompany the history and retrospectives.
I recommend this to fans old and new alike.
