Gamora arrives on Torndune—a once-lush planet that has been strip-mined for the power source beneath its surface—with a mission: collect the heart of the planet. She doesn't know who sent her, why they want it, or even what the heart of a planet looks like.

Collating all this information is no mean achievement. The attraction of the book is that it tries so hard to do the impossible - to make this universe coherent. The Greeks could not do this with a much more limited range of material. Nevertheless, the concept of Prime Earth, the cosmic horrors like Galactus, the many levels of cosmic power, the most notable superheroes from Asgard to the team-ups, the characters drawn from both science and magic and the great space adventures are all well covered. This stunning visual guide is being created in collaboration with Marvel Studios, featuring a foreward by Marvel Studios President, Kevin Feige, will be the go-to resource for fans who are hoping to connect the dots and truly understand the complex web of interconnections between the different Marvel movies and television series and is now available wherever books are sold!

Impossible complexity is written into the project. Of course, the effort eventually becomes almost insane by the time that we get to the last section ('Alternate Worlds and Divergent Timelines'). Even the authors recognise that having so many heroes constantly die and be revived and having so many variants is taking credibility to the limit.
