Marvels (graphic novel)

Just got this as an accompaniment to "Kingdom Come" as Alex Ross is also the artist. Not quite as good as that other one, this is just the history of the Marvel Universe told from the pov of a photo-journalist. There's just too much emphasis on characters I didn't like - the original Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner. Other than that, the persecution of mutants didn't occur so early, if I remember. The Judgment Day theme of Book Three is skimmed over quickly (Galactus' coming). And finally, the death of Gwen Stacy lacks the emotional impact of the original four-colour edition. Overrated, IMHO. Now where's "Astro City"?
