59 Pages of Marvel Superhero Designs printed on one side of perforated paper

I will attach a silent video to this review of a page by page flip-through so you can decide for yourself if it suits your needs. I’ll also attach some of my finished projects and some sample photos of the pages as well.

This is my first coloring book based on Marvel comics (I have a couple of other comic book coloring books from another company.) Unlike my other books, this is not a black and white version of a comic book. It is a coloring book with a lot of touches that I enjoy in my coloring books. The designs are printed on one side and the pages are perforated. Also, unlike other books, there are no words printed on these pages. There is a heavy use of black in the designs but I find it easy to work with those and use the black as a big element in my coloring.

Something that should be noted immediately is that the product description, at the time I am writing this review, mentions 120 pages of all-out costumed warfare. Nope, that is not the case. The book has 120 pages if you count title page and the front and back of each page but there are only 59 pages which you can color. The title page is simply printed and the back of each page is blank. It doesn’t bother me that there are only 59 pages but I wanted to note that the description is wrong.

I am having a lot of fun with this epic battle of superheroes. The ultimate battles between Iron Man and Captain America are where I started my coloring. While I don’t test using these pencils, I decided to try my Marco Raffine Drawing pencils to see how they worked. If you are interested in what I use to test my coloring books and how I do my tests, you can read that info in the comments section below.

Here is an overview of what I found in this coloring book:

59 pages of Marvel Superhero Designs
Printed on one side of medium weight perforated paper
Glue Binding
Some Designs extend past perforations but stop before the binding area for ease of coloring
Alcohol and water-based markers bleed through the page
Gel pens and India Ink pens leave shadows of color on the back of the page
Coloring pencils work well with the paper but hard leads leave dents on the back of the page

As most coloring mediums are seen on the back of the page, I am really glad that the publisher decided to leave it blank. That gives me the ability to use whatever type of marker, pen or pencil I choose. However, I highly suggest that you use a blotter page behind the page you are working on to keep ink and/or dents from marring the next few pages.
