		After concluding his series with the seventy-fifth issue (the final arc is contained in The Wake), Gaiman embarked on a number of non-comic-related projects.
		Gaiman's prowess at interweaving the various subplots is unchallenged in the comics medium; the pace is relentlessly swift and the build-up irresistible.
		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.

		Having got used to the way 1602 works, it is the challange of unravelling the oblique story that is now the main draw to this series - a story that, thankfully, continues to be entertaining and imaginative enough to hold our attention.
		At this half-way point, 1602 is exciting and confusing in equal measure: it will undoubtedly be easier to evaluate once all is explained.

		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.

	Neil Gaiman (writer), Andy Kubert (illustrator), Richard Isanove (digital painting), et al., 1602
		When it was announced that Neil Gaiman would be writing a new comic book, his first for Marvel Comics and first series since the ridiculously brilliant and successful The Sandman wrapped up its 75-issue run in 1996, it was hailed as his "triumphant return" to the form.
		And while this may be true of any writer, it applies doubly to Gaiman as every character and scene, every tiny incident he writes — they all seem to have a complete history of their own and a myriad adventures just waiting to be written.
		There are other, similar examples, some obvious, some much more subtle, but in the end, knowing exactly who's who on your own is not germane to the outcome of the story, especially since all the principal players are sufficiently introduced as their roles become clear.

		When 1602 was first announced by Marvel, I was under the impression that Neil Gaiman was simply going to take the easy way out: "re-imagining" the heroes and villains of the Silver Age Marvel Universe as existing in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth.
		Above all, 1602 is a fantastic story, intelligent, entertaining, thrilling, original and creative; and the Marvel Universe certainly hasn't been this fresh captivating in quite some time.
		I'm generally not in favor of most digital coloring, but in 1602 the coloring is tender and tasteful, and does nothing to distract from the excellent drawings.

	1602 #1 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		Neil Gaiman makes his triumphant return to the comic book industry, and his first offering is nothing short of brilliant.
		1602 is a watershed moment in comic book history that will be mentioned in the same breath as Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns.
		Neil Gaiman knows how to write comics (let’s not talk about his novels), and the proof is in these ages.

	Neil Gaiman's 1602
		Back in the early 1960s, Marvel Comics revolutionized and redefined the superhero genre.
		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.

		Thus the Marvel time line is restored by the removal of the good Captain, but the mini-alternate universe of 1602 os (some how???) allowed to survive in the oersonal care of The Watcher.

	Review, Rating, Rossmaning: Marvel 1602
		In the past, some of the best comic books ever written were done by some guys who pretty much spit upon the super hero, cookie-cutter style and format that had been retread and run into the ground over the past 60 plus odd years.
		And the way that the Marvel characters use their powers in the 1602 setting is pretty ingenious.
		When I read a comic book I don't want to know what the relationship between the Pope and the Grand Inquisitor was during the chaotic era following the Spanish fleet's wicked defeat by the British Royal Navy.

		And Sandman won this year as "foreigner monthly comic book" since it has been republished monthly again for a great number of new readers who had never heard of it the first time around, or were just too young to pick it up.
		The different stories are comical and tragic, with a vein of subtle, dark humour building as the stories progress.
		Tor Editor (and veteran editor of everything from Edwardian porn to comics) Teresa Nielsen Hayden has a marvellous blog, and may well be persuaded to share her wisdom in these matters.

	Bureau 42 \| Comic Review - "1602 #1"
		It's the year 1602, and the world is populated with familiar characters.
		I wasn't as sucked in as I have been by nearly EVERYTHING else the man has written - but given that he is working within continuity and he's still trying to introduce characters we're familiar with while giving them time-appropriate stories, it's off to a good start.
		If the man who WROTE it doesn't think it's a good read until the third issue, I would imagine that we're not going to be impressed until then either.
