Gaiman's reimaging of Marvel in 1602 does show a quite a bit of knowledge about the real 1602. The use of Daredevil is very cool. But considering the recent issue of Marvel's Darth Vader comic, I'm now back to not picking up any more Marvel comics, even if they are free as this one was.
I'm not the greatest fan of Gaiman's work. That's not shade, I have a huge amount of respect for him, and I can read his writing and appreciate how much talent he naturally has, as well as a keen tongue and glib, poetic but economical prose.

I thought maybe I would have enjoyed more at home and I was right. Now I am not a big comic book reader. Unless it is written by Joss...
Sudden strange disturbances in weather have provoked panic all over Europe. With Queen Elizabeth on her deathbed, political maneuvering has begun in an effort to slide the “witchbreed” (mutants) hating James VI of Scotland into a ruling position. Before her passing, the Queen instructs Sir Nicolas...
