Marvel 1602: Fantastick Four by Pascal Alixe, Peter David

1.0

Some wonderful lines, but that was about it. Quoting Shakespeare doesn't equal good writing, first of all. Secondly, I don't like the insinuation that Shakespeare's plays were really written by a woman, Dora Evans, with Shakespeare just taking the credit. It's just not that likely. Now if you wanted me to believe that Shakespeare was a woman, I could handle that. I don't think that would be realistic, but it'd be worth positing. But just claiming he stole the credit is too much for me to believe. And third, no, Shakespeare isn't likely to have just ripped off the words of someone. People don't talk in iambic pentameter, not even in those days.

Overall, it just felt like the characters were doing things because they should be doing them to complete the plot requirements, not because they would do them. As I said, there were some funny lines, but it was a disappointment.
