If you're just looking for all the usual synopses and nothing more, this is not the book for you. If you're looking for Thoughtful, Insightful (and frequently Humorous) analysis by someone who witnessed most of the Marvel revolution directly from the Spinner Racks and Drugstore Magazine Displays, then this is indeed the book for you.
