Marvel 1602 by Neil Gaiman | 
pickThat was a fun, imaginative 1602 version of Marvel characters. I thought the plot was interesting, and there were fun surprises. The characters I was able to identify (there were some name and appearance changes) were Dr. Strange, Nick Fury, Angel, Daredevil, Wanda and Petros Maximoff, Cyclops, Iceman, Jean Grey, Beast, Professor X, Natasha Romanoff, Doom, Peter Parker, Magneto, Fantastic Four, Thor, Toad, and Captain America. Mutants=witch breed.
Thank you for this #WondrousWednesday @Eggs 😊
1. “Starless Sea” by Erin Morgenstern, which I recently received from the wonderful @Branwen
2. “Eon” by Alison Goodman, which I recently gifted to the wonderful @Branwen
3. Tagged! In this alternate history, Jean Grey disguises herself as a man to sneak on a ship, and Angel finds himself falling in love with her.

pickI found this in a free little library and I‘m glad I grabbed it. I‘m not the biggest Marvel fan (hello, Batman❤️), but this was an interesting concept. All of our favourite Marvel superheroes in England 1602. Neil Gaiman is always a fantastic storyteller so this was a clear ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. My only complaint: it was a tad too wordy at times for a graphic novel, IMO. But it was fun to try and figure out who was who. Not always so obvious!
pickThe year is 1602. Steven Strange is physician to the Queen of England; Sir Nicholas Fury is her master of spies. But her hold on the realm is tenuous, and King James of Scotland is poised to take it from her. Gaiman brings together his favorite Marvel ensemble from the comics of his childhood in this paean to the Silver Age. See how many Marvel heroes you recognize in 17th century clothes. I'll wager you miss a few.
Watchin The Big Bang Theory and Neil Gaiman is a guest star 🖤
pickMarvel 1602 takes some popular Marvel characters back over 400 years to England and the Roanoke colony. I enjoyed the ways the characters were translated to an earlier time. For example, Sir Nicholas Fury serves Queen Elizabeth I. This picture shows the Fantastic Four. Oh, and randomly, a dinosaur-like creature.
Can‘t wait to dig into this comic basically setting Marvel universe back in time 400 years ago. Lol what a treat. Neil Gaiman wrote it to boot!
pickGraphic novel binge post #2.
1602 is still one of my favorite comics of all time. Everyone should read this one.
Damsels vol 2 was good, but ended on a cliffhanger....and the series ended.😠
The Road to Metal was a decent lead in to the big DC Metal event.
Robotech gave me classic anime flashbacks.
I Kill Giants was WAY different than expected. Not bad, just different.
Future Quest has all the greats of the 60s. A Space Ghost origin story!!!
pickWoohoo! Finished this one. I love Gaiman‘s work and this was no exception. It was a little more difficult since I admit I had no knowledge of the Marvel characters other than the little bit I‘ve seen on movies. I had to keep asking my husband who people were and how they fit together. But it was an excellent story.
pick🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍This was soOoOoOo damn good!!! I mean what did I expect but the best after all it is Neil Gaiman but damn that blew me away just left me breathless. Neil you are an artist & a genius *commences Wayne‘s World 🌎 I am not worthy Scene on repeat* Every Gaiman Fan & Comic/Graphic/Manga/Human should read & own this 🤔😳😉🧐😄

Neil Gaiman's take on Marvel super heroes in 1602.
pickGreat fun for all Marvel fans. I don‘t see it as a good starter for those not well versed in Marveldom, but it‘s fun to see what might happen if the age of heroes had occurred during colonial times. Neil Gaiman is a clever story teller, but this was wordy (for a visual medium). Perhaps, too ambitious a tale for the length.
Today reminded me of this reimagined-superheroes book. I think I'm due for a reread. #NovemberByTheNumbers
so-soWell, turns out that I am just not a great X-Man fan, no matter in which time period the story takes place. So it's just a "meh" for me.
bailedI love all things #neilgaiman but I bailed on this one. I love the idea of #marvel characters in 1602 but not being a marvel superhero kind of girl, a lot of this was lost on me.
so-soI love this premise and I love Gaiman so I was really hoping to love this. But I didn't. It had some really fun moments though.

Maybe I was expecting more because it's Gaiman or maybe I just have high standards but I didn't love this? And wasn't intrigued enough to finish. Plot was lacking which was sad and a white Native American Cap really bothered/unsettled me.
My newest holds are in! Loving how many comics the LAPL has!
