Book Reviews of Marvel 1602
Book Review: Through a glass darkly
Summary: 5 Stars
This book takes a sideways look at many of the most iconic characters in the Marvel universe, and in doing so gives us a fresh viewpoint on their motivations. The story is set at the end of the Elizabethen period in English history, with the prospect of the Scottish King James becoming the English monarch. Via an admittedly somewhat contrivied device the age of heroes has arrived 400 years early. We see Steven Strange, Nick Fury, Daredevil, the original X-men and others against a backdrop of court intrigue and strange lights in the sky foretelling the end of the world.This is a well conceived idea with some nice asides thrown in for the long term fan with a knowledge of Marvel history, and a jolly good page-turner to boot!
