The Marvel Art of Joe Quesada

Beautiful comic art. Weak descriptive content in my opinion, BUT the art itself more than makes up for that. Hey, this is an "ART OF" book right? Great inspirational stuff, beautiful designs. Very nice reference to have.

The book is fantastic, more than 100 pages. It contains lots of sketches , most of JQ covers, and some detailed articles about latest work ( one more day , father ).Paper quality and HC format is extremely good. Not much is said about JQ as penciler of X-factor ( just some pages )... it is more focused on current JQ arts.Would have liked more text and "not so much celebrative" comments.

I love Joe Quesada's art. I became a fan from his Daredevil art. If you like his art, this is a most. I enjoy reading and looking at this book. It has wonderful explanations as to how he uses artistic elements to support the story. Great book!

Its not a bad book, but Marvel made some bad choices about it that prevent it from being a great book.First of all, that stupid horizontal design, which makes that the drawing in each space, being vertical, is reproduced at a relatively small size leaving lots of blank space at one side in each page. Stupid, stupid, stupid. When I buy an Art of Book, I want to see the art BIG, and not lots of blank space.Secondly, the content choice. It spends many pages reproducing just pages and pages of quesada's more known comics work instead of covers and more rare pieces. Do we ready need to see so many Daredevil Guardian Angel's pages, or Daredevil Father pages? If you buy this book, you surely like Quesada's work and probably already own these comics. Instead of that, I would have liked more alternate B covers by Quesada, more Wizard Covers, DVD covers, more promotional pieces, more Marvel Knights covers... more rare work. There are some, but there are many wonderful pieces missing (the Iron Man DVD cover reproduced big, the Iron man #1 B cover, the Spider-man 573 Colbert Variant Edition, etc).Marvel, if you want to see an Art Of book well done, just take a look at DC's The Cover Art of Adam Hughes, or DC's Mythology by Alex Ross. As it is, this book is just mediocre. A pity, because Joe Quesada is a wonderful artist and deserves better.

If you like Joe Q's stuff you will greatly appreciate this book! Great compilation of his early and later works

Awesome book with great art work.

There are some beautiful pieces but i think too much of the book focused on his work on Daredevil. Definitely could've had more cover art instead. And some more interior art from ALL his Marvel work.

Waiting more information

This is quite simply an outstanding collection.The artwork, commentary & presentation are just out of this world.Page after page of Dare Devil,Wolverine,Spider-Man etc. in dynamic cover compositions,interior art & preliminary sketches,done in a variety of styles, with all the inside info you could want direct from the artist himself & his colleagues.Spectacular stuff from cover to cover!My one grumble would have to be the choice of paper.Like Marvels excellent 'Art of Marko Djurdjevic',the paper is just too light weight & flimsy,& may well start to look somewhat shabby after repeated handling,& make no mistake you will want to return to this book time & time again.If you own any art books published by Underwood,Flesk,Dark Horse or DC among others,you'll know what I mean.Still, for fans of comic book art, & illustration this is an absolutely essential purchase.(Actually,if you're one of them snooty,high brow,deep thinking arty types then you too should get yourself a copy.You could be in for a very pleasent surprise!).

Awesome book
