In case you haven't heard, 1602 is Neil Gaiman's latest bit of fun for Marvel.

Imagine if Marvel's superheroes had been born in the 16th century instead of the 20th. What would that look like? Well, there's a persecuted bunch of folks under the protection of a Spaniard named Xavier, Queen Elizabeth's physician is named Strange, and there's a Count Doom heading an inquisition. Oh, and a wandering blind Irish minstrel named Murdock.

Could be good, could be very good. Like Red Son and many others, it's interesting to see my favourite characters put into different environments. Anyone else have any news?

I too think this is an amazing idea. They say it isn't elsewhere's or what if either. I am guessing someone like Dormammu is holding the universe in the past.....something like that. Sounds great though.

oh, so THAT'S what it is! cool! definetly gonna check it out.

i honestly cant beleive i didnt figure out what this was about given the title....oh well
