  1602 (comic) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1602 is an eight-issue Marvel comic miniseries written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Andy Kubert.
Although many fans assumed that she was based on Snowbird of Alpha Flight, Gaiman denied the rumor, stating that the 1602 characters were only based on Marvel characters who debuted during the Silver Age of comic books.
1602: New World is the name of the Marvel Comics miniseries that is the sequel to 1602.

Elisabeth of France (November 22, 1602 - October 6, 1644), was the daughter of King Henry IV of France and wife of Philip IV of Spain.
Kobayakawa Hideaki (小早川秀秋, 1582-December 1, 1602) was fifth son of Kinoshita Iesada and the nephew of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
1602 is significant in uniting two worlds: that of the Marvel Universe of super-heroes, all with their own history, and that of Neil Gaiman, who brings to the project literary respectability as well as his revered writing skills.

In this situation, the relationship between the previous and the new versions must be explicitly stated in the text of the new version or in another appropriate document (e.g., an Applicability Statement; see Section 2.2.2).

 Neil Gaiman's 1602
Now, Neil Gaiman (creator of the DC title Sandman and author of the award-winning novel American Gods), in collaboration with artists Andy Kubert, Richard Isanove, and Scott McKowen, is putting a fresh spin, hopefully, on Marvel's beloved heroes and villains.
All sorts of other odd things are going on, with strange weather, rumors of the end of the world, and a girl named Virginia Dare setting sail for England from the Roanoke Colony.
The covers for 1602 will be done by celebrated poster artist Scott McKowen, but all the internal artwork is by Andy Kubert and Richard Isanove.

Unable to wait for the collected edition, I bought the individual issues as they were released each month, waiting to acquire all eight before devouring the whole series in a single, sun-drenched afternoon.
The reinvented heroes of 1602 inspire one to wish for a complete makeover of the two-dimensional action heroes who clog the mainstream Marvel line-up.
The final chapter of 1602 is its weakest, as Gaiman fails to find a wrap-up that's anywhere near as innovative as its unfolding.

 1602 #2 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
I want to like 1602, I really do — but there are so many problems with the story and execution, not the least of which is the $3.50 price tag, that my enjoyment level so far has been low.
Overall, there is nothing else on the shelves quite like 1602 and I find it appealing in general, even if I have problems with some of the elements in particular.

 NEWSARAMA - MARVEL, GAIMAN TALK 1602
In regards to the events of 1602 effecting the overall Marvel Universe, Gaiman gave a solid, “wait and see.” He also added that there will be a good amount of religious activity going on in the miniseries, but religion, or religious persecution of the different will not be the focus.
Gaiman said that he wrote 1602 to be very accessible, and opted to jettison the idea of writing it in accurate Elizabethan dialogue.
So it would sort of be as if the existence of these 1602 characters during the Elizabethan were prophetic of the things that came to be in the Marvel Universe.

Marvel Comics held another one of their regular press conferences this time focusing on "1602," the upcoming eight-issue Marvel Knights title by Neil Gaiman, Andy Kubert and Richard Isanove, with covers by Scott McKowen (well known for his theater poster work) set to see release 8/13 (First issue 40 pages, subsequent issues 32, #3.50 each).
"1602" was chosen as the time period to set the book in because it provided Gaiman an exciting time in history in which to place these heroes.
"1602" was originally a working title for the series and Gaiman had intended to change it as he got further into it.

So "Marvel 1602" begins in the throne room of Elizabeth, by the Grace of God Queen of England, where Sir Nicholas Fury, the head of her intelligence organization and Stephen Strange, the court physician, are meeting with her Majesty on a stormy night.
My initial thought while reading "Marvel 1602" was that he was overplaying his hand with his conceit of putting most of the original roster of Marvel superheroes into the time of Elizabethan England because he was working in a couple of dozen characters (including a couple of extremely familiar first line villains).
I was thinking that he was simply juggling too many characters and that the best stories I have read putting familiar Marvel and DC superheroes in another place and another time have been fairly specific (e.g., Batman appearing in the London of Jack the Ripper).

Gaiman's way with words is evident in these pages, and his strong execution of the material is what makes this somewhat tired premise appeal to me at all.
After much speculation about its premise, the revelation that 1602 is a story about the Marvel characters set in 1602 comes across as, well, played out.
Fortunately for Marvel, 1602 does have some of the style that Gaiman brings to all of his work.

Written by Julian Darius, these annotations benefit from Darius's background as both a comics scholar and a scholar of Renaissance English literature -- exactly the blend of apparently disparate elements that give the series its noted energy.

The amazing thing about 1602 isn’t so much that all of the characters speak in Shakespearean dialogue (they should; they’re contemporaries), but that they’re also as witty as the Bard’s rakes and clowns.
Substitutions and amalgamations between Marvel’s cast and real-life corollaries allows characterization of personages such as Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth and King James VI and I consistent with how they may have behaved in the presence of winged mutants.
The hardcover collection of 1602 1-8 features a cover gallery and the script to issue 1 (the SC is substantially cheaper but excludes the script), but the feature that would be most useful is omitted: annotations.
