No doubt, if i had to choose i'd definitely buy it again.

However, the biggest problem I have is the heavy amount of minimalism that ... Read More
Rating:  - Rather Up To Date though a few gripes

Then goes up to the last Legacy book Revelation along with a general overview of the Legacy era happening in the Dark Horse Comics that's still ongoing.
At 1200+ pages the information is amazing though some of the pictures they included are recycled images from the previous edition of the Encyclopedia. My main gripe is the fact ... Read More
