The Art Of The Avengers The Marvel Studios Infinity Saga

Next to The Fantastic Four The Avengers is my favorite Marvel Comics superhero group.

I’m old school so I read the original series that introduced The Hulk, Thor, Ironman, Antman and The Wasp as The Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

Later Captain America, Hawkeye, The Scarlet Witch and others would join the team.

When Marvel Studios announced that it would be releasing The Avengers as a live-action movie I got really excited. Would Marvel Studios pull it off or would it be a disaster?

Needless to say the movie was a huge success and helped usher in the Marvel Movie Universe.

My favorite scenes in the movie were the roundabout shot of The Avengers in the city, The Hulk taking out the oversize tech-dragon, The Hulk thrashing Loki and Black Widow fooling Loki.

The Titan Books’ The Art Of The Avengers The Marvel Studios Infinity Saga is an oversize, deluxe hardbound book with a beautifully painted dust cover.

Writer Jason Surreal and designers Jeff Powell and Adi Branov have created a beautifully designed book filled with color photos and art and in-depth text examining the production of the movie from concept to completion.

Ryan Meinerding and Charlie Wen provide an introduction that leads into a prologue all about how The Avengers movie team was assembled.

A Cinematic Universe Timeline breaks down the progression of Marvel movies and TV series and the important events that pulled the universe together.

Each of the important characters in the film are fully examined along with how they were presented in the film and costumed.

Weapons, technology, transport, special effects, set designs, scenes and every aspect of the film are examined.

Conceptual paintings, final renderings and finished costumes, sets, etc. are also included.

The book is an incredibly thorough look at the film with great art, amazing visual effects, cutting-edge technology resulting in a cohesive whole.

There is so much information, visual reference, photos and art contained within it’s difficult to take in with just one sitting.

It is an extremely well-designed book, thoughtfully assembled and executed.

Psalms 31:24 - Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
