Marvel So You've Been Bitten by a Radioactive Spider - by Daniel Kibblesmith (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The Marvel Comics Universe is full of action, adventure, danger, and cosmic peril. Be ready for anything with this illustrated action handbook--whether you have newly developed super-powers, you need to pilot an Iron Man suit, or Galactus is here to eat the Earth.

Written by Marvel Comics and Emmy-nominated humor writer Daniel Kibblesmith, this official illustrated guide to surviving and thriving in the Marvel Universe uses comics-tested advice to steer readers through what to expect when exposed to gamma rays, bonding with a symbiote or--ow!--feeling an unexpected sting at the science fair. Featuring practical information such as wall-crawling tips, along with emergency information (you've been plunged into the Quantum Realm) and day-to-day guidance if your cat turns out to be a Flerken, you suspect someone of being a Skrull, or are facing a Doombot, this is the must-have handbook as you live in the world of Marvel's mightiest heroes.
