Marvel 1602: New World/Fantastick Four Premiere HC
3 stars means I liked it a good amount and would suggest it under the right conditions.
The conditions I would suggest this book under would be if you liked 1602.
This followup is not however nearly as good as Gaiman’s original run of that magnificent comic book. But many of the same characters return in these two separate series and they are fun to read.
The first of these two stories is in many ways what I had hoped a follow up would be after reading 1602. Set in the New World it in many ways deals with prejudice and the Native Americans. Although do not be fooled this story is about Peter, Bruce, Virginia, and one other hero you would not expect. The story has some muttling problems but overall delivers a good time and a thoughtful tale. It has many elements which will probably be far more familiar to people who are bigger Spider-Man fans than man. It is however the lesser of the two stories.
The second story is focused on the Fantastic Four and includes the bard himself as a nice compliment to the story. It is funny and riddled with Shakespeare quotes which is always great. A solid overall story and one I would even personally give four stars to on its own.
