Has anyone read this?


--- Quote ---The always inventive Gaiman has concocted an unlikely—but fantastically successful—superhero comic that transfers Marvel's classic characters to the Elizabethan period. Nick Fury is still a lethal government operative, but now he's an adviser to Queen Elizabeth. Her Majesty is equally reliant on magician and doctor Stephen Strange. X-Men mentor Charles Xavier still shepherds a band of mutant teens, only now he's called Carlos Javier, and the mutants are known, and mistrusted, as "witchbreed." Carlos's mysterious nemesis has taken on a new job: grand inquisitor of the Spanish Inquisition.

Unfortunately, no...but i'm mightly intrigued to do so now.

Digs:
I already need two hundred dollars for the rest of the Inu Yasha manga, the library has no copy of Reinventing Comics so's I'll have to buy that too, and now this. Curse your black heart, Ray.

This is the internet, this is the internet sarcasm note.

unknowner:
Read it twice, thought it was a rather clever concept, and executed quite well.   I highly reccomend that you spend an afternoon in the Barnes and Noble reading it...

Seriously, I use that place like my personal library!

synecdoche:
I read it as it came out in the regular issues.  It started out fine but I think Neil needed then again as long a page limit to tell his story-- the pacing felt pretty rushed toward the end.  

I think it is worth the read, yeah, but it isn't Neil's best.  I really think that if he had had 16 issues to work through it it could have been magnificent, but he only had 8.
