Illustrated in manga style, each title in this series instructs readers on how to draw characters from the DC universe. Starting with a table of contents and introduction, each title includes a supply list as well as a brief history of the character being drawn. Characters receive a short paragraph description and two pages of instruction, using approximately five pictures of a progressively more detailed drawing. "Manga Facts" are sprinkled throughout, such as that Mangaka--manga artists--create a sense of motion using speed lines. Action scenes finish off each drawing lesson, typically depicting a battle between characters drawn previously in the title. Titles assume some basic drawing knowledge and background, meaning beginners will struggle to follow instructions and younger artists may become frustrated. Back matter includes a small resource section highlighting other manga and DC drawing titles. VERDICT For artists with an eye for manga and comic art; may be too difficult for beginners.
