Graphic Novel Book Club:
Sadly, while I was really excited to read the 1602 series/universe all as one, I was not very impressed by the actual use of the characters, plotlines, and especially side series. A lot of it felt like really big shoutouts being tenuously connected so that old fans would understand but the new reader wouldn't understand what was going on at all.

An excellent read. I enjoyed Gaiman's Marvel 1602, and I enjoyed this one as well. It does catch the feel of the time period, yet they also keep the essence of the characters. Once you start it, you just have to finish it. If you liked the first one, you will like this one. This one is a bit more action-packed, but still a very good read. This series is certainly becoming a favorite for me.

Having a character spout a well-known line of Shakespeare so that Shakespeare can make a remark about wanting to write it down is bad. Making this a recurring joke is unbelievably tedious and unfunny. But doing this little song-and-dance with a line that you have already depicted Shakespeare as having written for himself in a goddamn five-issue miniseries is just a whole new level of stupid that I need a Shakespeare to invent some words for.

I just really like the idea of Renaissance Marvel characters. Best idea. This one was a bit tricky for me as I have very little knowledge beyond the basics for the Fantastic Four universe. It also confused me as to why Natasha showed up for a split second as Doom's lady friend? Must be a comic thing that I missed. Enjoyable nonetheless
