[.ca] Marvel 1602 HC Gaiman Cover (ISBN 0785125698)

A Breath Of Fresh Air:
I truely loved this book, I have been a comic collector and comic fan since as long as I can remember and I must say. Through the last few years with growing older I found myself reading fewer and fewer comics. When I originall saw Marvel 1602 I was some what hesitant but quite curious initally I picked the book up at a local retailers and just leafed through it looking at some of the art work. The images of some of Marvels most classic heroes and villans couples with jaw dropping art work forced me to take the book home and give it a read. Apon starting it I really could not put the book down. It was enthraling and did not fail to entertain me for a single moment. I hope that there will be a sequel published in near future. This one definitly gets my seal of approval.....

Marvel 1602:
Gaiman was right in his comments when he said people would either love the book or hate it. I (obviously) loved the book. I thought its twist on the marvel world was quite imaginative. In a world where its hard to find "new" idea's Gaiman has excelled by using charachters that people would find fermiliar and made a whole new storyline with them that *I personally have never seen before. The storyline is fresh and keeps you from getting bored. The graphics are awesome and although its not always to spot the charachter at first, you will definatley know who it is by the way he/she acts or simply by the name they'v been given. *cough* *cough* "Sir Nicholas Fury" *cough* *cough* But in all seriousness for those who have even casually delved into the world of marvel i suggest a trip back in time with "Marvel 1602".
