Product Information

Although annoyed, I must say this seller is very professional and refunded my purchase promptly, in a most courteous manner--somewhat remarkably for such a small dollar amount.

How did you elevate that to fit the larger-than-life nature of Marvel Super Heroes without making it feel too farfetched? Since her inception, Jocasta has served as an advocate for treating artificial life-forms with compassion and respect. Released by Insight Editions, Marvel Anatomy: A Scientific Study of the Superhuman, a deluxe book showcasing a visually stunning journey into the powers of the Marvel Universe's greatest characters, arrives everywhere books are sold on September 27, 2022. Seller sent the wrong item, but the wrong book has a very similar cover and seller addressed problem very quickly. Even Jocasta, who’s not monstrous at all, felt vaguely mythic to me, and being able to demonstrate how her distinctive metal “hair” is actually just an extension of her supercomputer-brain—such a unique opportunity!How does the country of Wakanda remain unconquerable, and how does the most brilliant minds of King T'Challa aka Black Panther and Shuri improve the future for all Wakandans? The subjects' greatly increased physical prowess was the result of the Klyntar enveloping their human hosts within their mass, creating a flexible, breathable organic sheath. JONAH LOBE: Marvel Anatomy is, in essence, a royal Wakandan dossier, and the Wakandan style is both timeless and traditional. I loved showing the audience how Symbiotes breathe through their tongue, or the way their curling white “eye spots” grant their hosts up to 270° vision. Getting to examine the various heroes and villains through the eyes of the Panther meant we could lean into T’Challa’s previous relationships and encounters to help form his opinions on each subject.

The first-known symbiote on Earth was originally believed to be nothing more than a "living costume" belonging to Spider-Man, which the hero brought home following an extradimensional adventure. They wanted us to believe that even the mightiest of Marvel’s champions could burst off the page and exist alongside us.This one-of-a-kind collector’s edition contains 3 stunning, dynamic art prints of Super Heroes and Super Villains featured in the book, as well as a signature card signed by artist Jonah Lobe. In this configuration, the symbiote acts as an exoskeleton that augments the host's natural musculature in the manner of mechanized power suit. Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. The manuscript is fascinating and genuinely educational, and it gives you a framework of real world knowledge before explaining how, exactly, our cast of heroes differ.

JONAH LOBE: I was most surprised by the freedom Marvel and Insight (the publisher) gave me to complete this project. And then there’s the Leader, whose gamma-enhanced brain may be one of the coolest images in the entire book. UNIQUE ILLUSTRATIONS: Beautifully illustrated cross sections combined with fascinating insights capture each Super Hero’s and Super Villain’s unique set of powers.Along the way, they'll discover the unique anatomical makeup of many characters in the Marvel Universe, all while unlocking the secrets behind their fantastical abilities. When Skrull forces use their shape-shifting powers to infiltrate Earth’s defenses, King T’Challa must delve into Wakanda’s scientific archives to determine which Super Heroes and Super Villains might be most at risk. The manuscript was incredible and loaded with details and ideas, but what I chose to illustrate—and how I chose to illustrate it—was completely up to me. Packaged in a gorgeously crafted clamshell case featuring never-before-seen artwork of Groot, this unique volume is an essential collector’s item for every Marvel Universe fan.
