review:
'DC Comics Super-Villains: 100 Greatest Moments: Highlights from the History of the World's Greatest Super-Villains' by Robert Greenberger is an encyclopedia of famous DC villains and their greatest story lines.

From Adolph Hitler to Vandal Savage, this is a collection of villains and the story lines they are known for. Some entries only reference one story-line. Joker has six. Along the way, I learned that the term "fridging," where a female character is killed off to provide motivation, comes from the comics. There are cosmic battles and personal grudges galore. Each entry talks about the villain, then has pages from the stories mentioned.

These books are a lot of fun, both for remembering famous story lines, and finding new ones to discover. I like the selection of villains, even if there are a few oddballs along the way (Master Mind anyone?)

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Chartwell Books, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
