I'm a huge Marvel fan so I was excited to see this. I think they did a terrific job choosing the quotes -- this would make a really fun gift or coffee table book.

This book will surely be something that Marvel fans will want to take a look at--there's just a part of me that wishes that more could have fit into it! At the end of the day, this book is doing exactly what the title indicates. You get art to look at, and maybe some memories from comics that you've read in the past.

A fantastic collection for any Marvel fan! The book masterfully pairs iconic and lesser-known quotes from decades of Marvel comics with stunning comic panels and illustrations, making it a treat for both new and longtime fans. The art panels are well-chosen and help bring wisdom and wit of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to life. It was interesting to see how the art styles have changed over the decades. It's a quick, enjoyable read that's great for reminiscing about classic lines or discovering new ones. This would be a great gift for a casual reader or a dedicated collector.

Thank you to NetGalley and Cider Mill Press for an advance copy of this book.

I’m a big fan of comics like Marvel, even the MCU. Reading all the quotes in this book really made me miss all these eras, and it was also super inspiring.

'Marvel Comics Classic Quotes' by Robb Pearlman is a fun coffee table-style book that can be casually read in a single sitting. For any Marvel fan, it delivers a selection of mostly well-known catchphrases that have become popular through internet memes and the MCU like "I am Groot" and "I don't want to cure cancer. I want to turn people into dinosaurs", but also a few that come directly from some of the best stories from the comics, like Ms. Marvel's "Good is not a thing you are. It's a thing you do."

Each quote is usually accompanied by a comic book panel, but oddly enough not always the panel it is referencing. It's clear that this is a book primarily targeted towards people that are familiar with both the quotes and the stories themselves, and that is a shame as I would have loved a little snippet of context to also be there to provide more information on what each quote means. Some quotes can perfectly stand on their own and hold meaning even if someone hasn't read that particular story, others though not so much. The words "No more mutants" for example, will mean very little to someone not familiar with the story arc behind them. Not every Marvel fan has read all the comics, and it would be a good way to get more people interested in discovering new books.

I'd say that my biggest nitpick about the book is the lack of credit given to artists and writers. For most quotes there is a comic title with the issue number and date, referencing their origin, but no information on the people who wrote and drew them. Despite the misconception that comic books are just shallow pop corn entertainment, there is lots of heart, depth, and insight to be found in many of these stories, and that's thanks to the artists and writers behind them.

It was nice seeing (part of) one of my favourite quotes from Loki: Agent of Asgard #13 (2015), by Al Ewing, Lee Garbett, and Antonio Fabela:

"What is a lie, when it's at home? Anyone? Is it the depressed little voice inside? Whispering in my ear? Telling me to give up? Well, I'm not giving up. Not for that part of me that hates myself. That wants me to wither and die. Not for you. Never for you. What's a lie, Verity? A lie is a story told. That's all. And we can rewrite our stories. All of us. Write our own happy endings. Our own redefinitions. We don't have to be what we're told to be. Even by ourselves."

As a Marvel fan, this book gave me so many nostalgic moments and so many of the quotes are still relevant to my life.

This contains a good selection of classic quotes. All of the quotes I expected were there. This is a single sitting less than an hour read so it's good for nostalgia. Maybe a coffee table book. Maybe a Christmas gift. I think how well it will be received will depend on what expectations a reader goes into it with. I expected nothing but text because it's a quote book. That meant that I was pleasantly surprised to find some nice panel examples illustrating each character, particularly because I enjoyed the range of ages of the panels and examples. I see from the other reviews that others expected that the specific panels would match the first instance of the quotes. I think that's kind of a high bar to expect and I was happy because I was not expecting that. I personally prefer a wide range of ages rather than everything first instance. We've got several generations of comic book lovers and therefore a wide range of what age is found to be peak nostalgic. Thanks for the digital ARC.

Thank you, NetGalley, for this ARC. I requested on NetGalley after exactly a year for new ARC, and it got approved! This one is about Marvel comics, and any Marvel fan will definitely enjoy it.

While reading, I was reminded of the old Spider-Man comics I used to read at my childhood obviously a bagla version. I growing but never forget about comics, I still reading. This book is a collection of old Marvel quotes to modern one. My favorite quote from this collection is: “I’m My Own Woman – First, Last, And Always!” (from Black Widow in Daredevil).

However, I didn’t really like this one: “I am a woman, a mutant, a thief, an X-Men, a lover, a wife, a queen. I am all these things. I am Storm, and for me, there are no such things as limits.” When someone proudly says that women can do everything: they can cook, work in an office, and handle everything at once, they are superwomen blah blah blah...I appreciate their pride, but personally, I dislike the idea. Why should I always have to pretend that I can do everything? And why should I have to?

Still it was a good read, and it gave me a nostalgia.

Thank you Cider Mill Press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I love Marvel, but I found this a little disappointing. It would've been a great idea for the comic panels to be paired with each quote and match the moment it happened, it could've worked as a nice, quick flashback to the original scene and added more impact. Overall, it was a quick and nice read, but the way it was put together made it feel a bit all over the place.

Thank you to Cider Mill Press and NetGalley for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are my own.

"Marvel Comics Classic Quotes: Quotes Assemble! Insights from Earth's Mightiest Heroes" is a collection of quotes and comic book art highlighting some of the legendary moments in Marvel comic book history.

"Avengers Assemble!"

"Wakanda Forever!"

"I am Groot!"

And my favorite, "Hulk SMASH!"

This book has some of the most memorable lines from the comic books, many now even more well-known for being a part of Marvel movies or TV series, and there was a warm feeling of familiarity as I read through this book. The art featured is also beautiful. I don't think a lot of people appreciate the artistry in comic book storytelling.

It was an easy book to flip through and enjoy in one sitting, but that means it also left me wanting more. I was disappointed that the quotes rarely matched up with the artwork they were paired with on the pages. I think pairing the iconic line with the image(s) of when that line was spoken would have been more engaging, and also potentially draw casual fans to explore the stories more.

In my opinion, the book felt disorganized and thrown together randomly. There was no structure or purpose for the order of the quotes/images, or if there was one, it wasn't obvious. It could have been put together in order of each character's first appearance, or by grouping characters who appear together the most often. Anything to bring a little more structure. Because of this and no connection between the quotes and the images used, the book as a whole is unmemorable.

The quotes are great, the artwork is amazing, and I enjoyed reading through this book once, but I don't think I will feel compelled to read through it again.

#MarvelComicsClassicQuotes #NetGalley

Thanks so much to NetGalley for the free Kindle book. My review is voluntarily given, and my opinions are my own.

Any Marvel fan will absolutely love this book. It isn't just the quotes included, although those are great. It's the actual comic book panels and illustrations included in the book. I do wish there were full comic panels showing more context with the quotes, but my guess is this is one of those small books that could be a stocking stuffer (except super expensive because it's Marvel).

Well, at least it isn't DC. Lol. Had to put in here, even though I have no issues with DC. Just fun.

My thanks to NetGalley and Cider Mill Press for an advance copy of this book of quotes featuring characters from the Marvel Comics Universe from the early first swings of Spider-Man to the lastest stories of today.

I love me a good quote. For years I have used a file card as a bookmark for physical books, or just tucked into my ereader to write down things that interest me while reading. Fun facts, interesting events, how to pick locks, steal starships, defeat kaiju, or well written lines and quotes. I wish I had been doing this as a child when I first started reading comics. My Grandmother, Nan, was my supplier. Every visit was a peanut butter cup, and a comic book. Nan was never one for buying the same book twice, so every time was a brand new character, but Nan was a Marvel zombie, though she didn't know it. Which was good as I always loved the Marvel stories. I liked the heroes, the way they handled things, and how their life got in the way. They spoke to me, not above me. Even now many of the lines I read in those comics mean much to me. To the writer of this book also. There was a reason so many demanded "Make MIne Marvel". Marvel Comics Classic Quotes: Quotes Assemble! Insights from Earth’s Mightiest Heroes by Robb Pearlman is a sampling of some of these great lines, collected in one place with a some classic art to give the quotes a little more substance.

The book begins with the author giving a brief description of the Marvel Universe, and why there are so many good lines from the books and why they still have meaning even now. The book begins with Spider-Man and the most misquoted quote in comicdom, but one that still has meaning today. From there we travel the Marvel Universe, from past to present, with lines about heroism, line about being human, of trying and accepting failure And getting back up. Accompanying the quotes are comic panels from classic issues, not exactly featuring the quotes, but giving a little bit of heft to what is said.

The Marvel way was for Stan to sketch out a story, the artist to fill it in, and Stan to add words to fit the art. For a person who always felt embarssed by working in the four-color industry, Stan Lee had a gift for words. And with the art he was given from Jack Kirby, John Romita, Sal Buscema, how good he not. Many will nitpick over what is chosen. That's not the point. This is to highlight the beauty of these stories and why 60 years later people still want to read and watch these characters. The quotes are nice, and so is the art. I wish it was longer, but this is a nice start.

A good book for old fans and new ones just getting into the comic world. A book to to show what they cared about these characters for, and reasons why we still care in this bleak future we find ourselves in. Maybe these words will cause nostalgia, maybe a drive to make a better world. Whatever this is a fun book, and in Stan's words, Excelsior.

Thank you to NetGalley and to Cider Mills Press for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a collection of Marvel Comics quotes, and after each quote, there is an image from the comics. Under each quote, it states who said it and where it is from. As a Marvel fan, this was very fun to read and to look through.

There are the classic Marvel quotes mixed in with a few that I didn't know as much. I really enjoyed the inclusion of images of the characters after each of their quotes.

I love Marvel comics and it was fun to read all the quotes by my favorite superheroes. I feel like this book could have been much longer and included many more characters. I will be happy if they come out with vol. 2 someday. I recommend to people who love the characters and are up on what is happening with the characters.

Thanks NetGalley for letting me read this advance copy.

Exactly what I expected but better! I love all things Marvel and this book included so many familiar quotes. It's accompanied by snippets of comics and other art which added to the appeal of this book. It would be a great book for any Marvel fan. So many quotes that I loved. My favorites were the one from Storm, Captain Marvel and Daredevil. Thank you NetGalley, Robb Pearlman and Cider Mill Press for the eARC!

DOCTOR DOOM MENTIONED?

Honestly, this was a bit more basic than i was expecting, but I still had a good time reminiscing. Some of the art pieces were top notch so good (the Storm one.. so so peak), but I was a bit let down by the choice of some of the others. Some of the pages were a bit goofy, but I’ll let it pass bus all the girlies got pretty good ones (lol). All around, pretty middle of the group vibes, but i think for a kid who's starting to get into comics and the marvel universe, it would probably be perfect. Not going to lie though, I would love to get my hands on it to see the printed artworks!

P.S: Loki mentioned twice we are winning so hard

This would be such a wonderful gift for a marvel fanatic. Nothing ground breaking but just a fun nod to all things marvel. It’s got a variety of different characters highlighted throughout.

This is a good book to gift to someone who loves Marvel characters. There are a few quotes here and there that feel deeply insightful, but for the most part it showcases the famous key phrases associated with popular Marvel Comics characters, such as "It's clobberin' time!" for The Thing and "To me, my X-Men!" for Professor X. The design and art featured in the book are well-chosen, so if you want a book that is a simple delight for the Marvel fan in your life, I think this fits the bill.

I feel like the meaning of the word 'classic' in the title should really be taken to mean popular. A lot of these are quotes from more recent Marvel and not classic Marvel, also, it was a page with like 4 words and then a comic page, there wasn't much too it? It feels like something you'd find in the bargin section at Barnes and Noble, so not.bad, but not much substance.

Great book! Absolutely love that it's a mix of the quotes and graphics. Would definitely recommend this
