This is a fun and enjoyable read - seeing your favorite Marvel characters in the year 1602 gives a new spin to many of them, and putting into play the politics of the time, this makes for a fun read.

Well written series by Neil Gaiman and artistically rendered to the page, I would definitely add this to my personal collection. The only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star book is that there is so much story with so many characters, that I did have to go back to remember why someone was saying or doing something from 20 pages prior.

Other than that, this is a fun and enjoyable romp through the Marvel comics world.

Idk just like uncompelling and I’m sorry but I hate this art style

This take on the Marvel Universe is pretty cool. I know that some people complained about certain characters being left out, namely Wolverine, but I don't think it would've made any sense for him to be involved. It's not like there was adamantium just lying around by a fire pit in England.
The artwork is beautiful of course and the writing is good, though not as Gaiman-ish as I'm used to. Finished it fairly quick, a fun read.

An overall good book, but the pacing was a little slow for most of the comic before picking up at the end

Gaiman briljerar och teckningarna är riktigt fina och stämningsfulla. Jag var inte så insatt i de historiska händelserna sedan innan, men kollade upp bakgrunden allt eftersom medan jag läste. En bok man längtar efter att läsa om!
