      I think that 1602 definetly got a bad rap. Yeah the ending wasn't the best, but its just fun to see all those analogues of characters we love. The political side of the story itself was a marvel to behold. Plus I think that Doc Strange = Sir Thomas Moore is hilarious. Plus the art is just beautiful.

      I picked 1602 up recently and....it bored me to tears! It is interesting to see these modern characters in a puritan world...But it just feels like one of those 'Hey what happen if we put our characters in this situation?'

      The ending was just plain confusing and stupid...if I wanted a cosmic ending then I would've read a Jack Kirby book. There was no reason, for me anyways, to go to a 1600 style Marvel book into a time/space sci-fi adventure at the end. It is written well, but it is just another line of 'why is Neil Giaman considered so great?' arguement.

      Seriously....

      Other then 'Sandman', I dont really see why people love so much of his works...He's just another sci-fi writer to me.
