Uatu speaks to Strange in a vision and tells him that the weather and the presence of superhumans is due to an anomaly he refers to as “The Forerunner” whose presence in the past (his present) threatens to annihilate all known universes.Īfter a successful assault on Doom’s fortress, four thought-to-be-lost passengers of the ship The Fantastick are freed and Thor makes a booming appearance, and in an attempt to escape the witchbreed persecution of James and Enrique, they head for the New World. Meanwhile, a treasure of the Knights Templar and its guardians – among them one Matthew Murdoch, a blind bard – are betrayed and captured by Doom. James IV, the Scottish king, inherits England and partners with Grand Inquisitor Enrique on a sort of witch hunt for what they call “witchbreed” but which we know more commonly as mutants. It’s discovered that the Vulture is an agent of Otto von Doom a revelation that comes a little too late as a gift from Doom to the Queen turns out to be a deadly device. While still more questions arise, a ship docks hailing from the New World (Roanoke, specifically) bearing with it two passengers of interest: Virginia Dare (the historically accurate first white Christian born in the British Colonies) and her protector – a native American named Rojhaz.Ī Vulture-like assassin attempts to kill the young girl, is thwarted by Rojhaz, and later interrogated by one Sir Nicholas Fury. Many interpret the signs in Biblical light as in the apocalypse is nigh! Set in the Elizabethan Era, Doctor Stephen Strange, the Queen’s physician who is, of course, just a little bit more than the title suggests, grows increasingly concerned with errant weather phenomena. Gaiman in bed with Marvel was at least worth a looksy (and right after I typed that sentence I realized how risqué it sounds, but I’m sticking with it). I’ve read a number of Gaiman’s works: American Gods (soon to be a TV show), Neverwhere, Stardust, and The Sandman to name a few. Normally I would have passed on what is clearly a very gimmicky title, but Neil Gaiman’s name was prominently displayed across the top of the first issue’s cover and I simply couldn’t resist. Last week, I gave the Discovery button a tap and was immediately presented with a title I’d never even heard of: Marvel 1602. There you’ll find a rotating cast of characters, series, and events neatly collected for easy reading. And they provide them, but occasionally I play the lottery that is the Discover button at the bottom of the Marvel Unlimited app’s home screen.
I cannot make an honest claim to a lifetime of comic readership, so I’m frequently hitting up fellow Nerds on Earth writers for recommendations.
