Marvel 1602

Marvel 1602 was an 8 issue limited series written by nerd favorite writer Neil Gaiman. It basically imagined what would happen if all the marvel heroes existed in the year 1602. At some point there is a convoluted attempt to tie it into current 616 continuity, but that was dumb, and the story basically fizzled out. While the writing was clever and the art was pretty, the conclusion of the story, which was promised to be shocking and unexpected, was just kind of boring and a cop out alternate reality thing. Sorry I can't give too much away without spoiling the plot.
