![]() While I did enjoy it, I couldn't help making those comparisons and wishing this to be more like the original. MARVEL 1602: FANTASTICK FOUR reads more like an alternate/what if FF story. ![]() ![]() ![]() That work was fresh and magical, and presented familiar Marvel characters in an entirely different light. However, it pales in comparison to the original Marvel Knights MARVEL 1602 eight-issue 2003-2004 maxi-series from Neil Gaiman and Andy Kubert. The story has a few twists to keep things interesting and include some subtle comments on the more selfish impulses of humanity. The only significant difference is with Medusa, who now has the ability to turn folks to stone with her gaze (like the original figure of Greek mythology). The FF act exactly like the FF of old, with Doctor Doom, the Frightful Four, Sandman, and Namor also reprising their roles albeit in period-looking costume. ![]() However, it's more of a throwback to the early 1960's adventures of the Fantastic Four than it is something brand new and fresh like the original work by Neil Gaiman was. This is a fun read with alternate versions of familiar characters set during the days of William Shakespeare, who plays an important role within the story. ![]()
