Once again this adds a refreshing feel to the whole series. From Nick Fury to Nicholas Fury, Charles Xavier to Carlos Javier. The subtle change in the names of the characters is also a nice touch. The artwork, as most Marvel works is amazing and even with the 17th Century style of the characters you would not fail to recognize who they are in relation to the current ones. The 17th century dialogue is also there but most of the time it comes off quite cheesy and could be somewhat uninteresting. There are a lot of characters in here and most are creatively utilized, some however could’ve had better writing like Peter Parker/Parquagh who’s role is mostly Nick Fury’s errand boy. That said, it does not mean that it’s a bad one but it is a fun read and seeing some of the superheroes out in their 17th Century clothing is quite a refreshing view. However, Marvel 1602 falls short in that section and does not quite deliver story wise. With the award winning Gaiman telling the story, one can expect one hell of a story with twists and turns and an unpredictability that keeps the readers guessing. Doom is also plotting a scheme that may lead him to world domination. The Queen is ill, the witchbreeds (mutants) are being captured and burned, an unknown force is threatening the world and Dr. Marvel 1602 puts some of the big names (Nick Fury, Peter Parker, The X-Men, Fantastic Four etc.) in the Marvel Universe in 17th Century England.
