The company's biggest players, such as Captain America and his fellow Avengers, have multipage spreads that provide key details of the characters' histories. You'll get in-depth breakdowns on abilities, enemies, and iconic storylines.

The Marvel Encyclopedia New Edition is also available instantly on Kindle for $20.

The DC Comics Encyclopedia New Edition

The DC Comics Encyclopedia ​​​​​​is published by DK, the same as the Marvel Comics Encyclopedia. And that's evident as the same level of care and detail appears in both installments.

Essentially matching Marvel, the encyclopedia for DC Comics also features information on over 1,200 characters, both good and bad. There are sections covering iconic crossover events, such as the more recent Dark Nights: Metal and Dark Nights: Death Metal. But it does an excellent job of covering the entire swath of the company's 80-year history. It even touts a forward by legendary DC Comics writer Jim Lee.

The DC Comics Encyclopedia New Edition is also available instantly on Kindle for $15.

Let's not ignore the impressive work done within The DC Comics Encyclopedia, though. The 384-page hardcover book was penned by comic experts Matthew K. Manning, Stephen Wiacek, and, once again, Melanie Scott. The beautifully illustrated title is normally listed at $40. However, The DC Comics Encyclopedia Prime Day sale puts the comic conversation piece down by a whopping 65%. It's currently a bestseller, so you may want to hop on your copy fast while it's priced at just $14.
