rigpig Member	Posted Hi gang - Happy Holidays Just noticed a book by Neil listed on Amazon and was curious if it was a graphic novel (like sandman) or a book? Anyone read it and care to rate it? I'm a big fan - have read neverwhere american gods and good omens. Thanks in advance.

Posted Hide Post Marvel 1602 was an 8 issue series that came out last year. This must be the collected hardbound you are looking at. Being a Marvel fan and loving history, I really enjoyed it. I have heard some say it's not Neil's best, but it's all good to me. It's a look at what Marvel's heroes and villains would have been like 400 years ago. Hope this helps. Read it and enjoy! ----------------------------- Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery. Additional handling charges may be required.

rigpig Member	Posted Hide Post Hey Chad what a quick answer, thankyou, but I still don't understand if it's a book or comic? The story sounds marvelous and I'd buy anything by Neil but I can't get into comics.

Mr. Chadtastic the Wicked Little Critta Member	Posted Hide Post It's a hardbound graphic novel that is comprised of the 8 issues of the limited series comic. If that helps any. ----------------------------- Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery. Additional handling charges may be required.

cacfan Member	Posted Hide Post hey there rigpig 1602 is a great comic, beginning to end, you'll see the heroes in a new light. Mr. Gaiman's script is just beautiful and, well, it really brings you in. Even if you don't like the " men in tights " books, check this out. You may even want to check out the relaunched Thor in early 2005, N.G. helped pitch the plot. thanx. cacfan

The Lord of Nothings There is no custom member title here. Member	Posted Hide Post I WAS RIGHT! YES! I PREDICTED IT! See, i've been babbling how Brian Micheal Bendis hinted that the new writer for Thor would give it huge, huge, huge sales... so i kept predicted it'd be Neil, since Neil loves Thor. and I was right.

ThorneFox Member	Posted Hide Post All I heard was that he pitched the plot, while someone else is supposed to be writing it.

cacfan Member	Posted Hide Post Fox, you are right . he pitched the plot. J.M. Straczynski, tweaked it a little, and i believe Mark Millar is writing it.

The Lord of Nothings There is no custom member title here. Member	Posted Hide Post .... holy... no wonder Bendis said it'd be a big seller. those guys are big... JMS won Spider-Man its first Eisner ever... will this be Ultimate Thor, since i know Millar writes alot of the Ultimates line? The Suburban Howl

Posted Hide Post I just ordered 1602 through Chapters. For some reason I thought it came out later this year...should arrive soon. Hooray. I just love the idea because a) its about comic book/super heros which I still love even though I can't buy comics anymore and b) that's the time period I study.
