Gr 2-5-Pop-up-meister Reinhart incorporates images created by a number of DC artists into a set of spectacular 3-D portraits-both the sort that leap up in massively muscled splendor from the center of each spread and smaller but no less eye-popping figures tucked into folding booklets in the corners. Superman leads off, of course, a solar-powered "living symbol of truth, justice, and the American way" towering over a view of his spacecraft while escaping an exploding Krypton on one side, and, on the other, cameos by a trio of sidekicks, plus Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, and (temporary) nemesis Doomsday. The Man of Steel is followed by Batman (with battery-powered Bat-Signal), "Warrior Goddess" Wonder Woman, the squad of intergalactic Green Lanterns, Lord Darkseid (in a spread devoted to the Bad Guys), and, finally, a 45-character composite of the Justice League of America and its prominent adversaries complete with a numbered legend. Other heroes and villains from Captain Marvel, Teen Titans, and even the Justice Society of America to the Joker and Anti-Monitor take bows in the side galleries. The lettered captions are too concise to get into much detail about, for instance, the "Infinite Crisis" story line but do clearly explain the origins and powers of the major DC players.-John Peters, formerly at New York Public Library (c) Copyright 2010.

As befits the subject matter, the illustrations in this detailed and decidedly heroic pop-up compendium of superheroes and supervillains feel ripped from the pages of classic DC comics. Favorites like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman get their own majestic spreads (sorry, Martian Manhunter!), while mini-booklets highlight their allies, nemeses, and histories. Each spread is dramatic and dynamic, and, as fans have come to expect from Reinhart, clever touches are in abundance: Aquaman's enemy, Black Manta, pulls on his mask as he pops up, and the Bat-Signal lights up above Gotham City. A towering final composition offers a veritable pantheon of characters (who are ID'd in an accompanying legend). Expertly crafted and superfun. Ages 3-up. (Oct.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Reinhart brings his knack for intricate pop-up designs with visual punch (literally: if you're sitting too close you might get a Superman sock to the jaw) to the DC Comics universe. The six main spreads feature Supe, Batman, Wonder Woman, the various Green Lanterns, Darkseid, and, finally, a 40-character display of the Justice League of America. More heroes and villains appear in smaller sub-pop-ups (they are occasionally obstructed by the main structures) that drill down into more detailed miscellany of heroic highlights and tragic defeats from DC's long history. Sure to please, and sturdy enough to take a few lickings.--Chipman, Ian Copyright 2010 Booklist
