A fun twist on the Marvel characters with great dialogue. Good artists, too.

Interesting alternate past world of marvel. It takes the characters we love and are familiar with and portrays them in the colonial American era. The story is interesting and engaging, but it tries too hard to include as many characters as possible. It's a little hard to follow at times because the artist tends to pull back for wide images so we loose detail and also draws faces in shadows often so it's hard to determine the identity of the speaker until you've gotten familiar with the characters - luckily most are already familiar.
If you're a marvel fan, it's a definite 'to read'.

One of the most interesting, refreshing takes on the characters we all know. Definitely enjoyed.

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.

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
