1602 Out

My wanted book list has now expanded by one.

I've just found out that Neil Gaiman's re-telling of the Marvel comic universe, 1602 is finally available in hardcover. I'll just let the blurb from Amazon do the talking:

"In Marvel 1602, award-winning writer Neil Gaiman presents a unique vision of the Marvel Universe set four hundred years in the past. Classic Marvel icons such as the X-Men, Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and Daredevil appear in this intriguing world of 17th- century science and sorcery, instantly familiar to readers, yet subtly different in this new time. Marvel 1602 combines classic Marvel action and adventure with the historically accurate setting of Queen Elizabeth’s reign to create a unique series unlike any other published by Marvel Comics.."

Aiee. A search on Amazon reveals the collection to be sold at about 25 USD. As a Gaiman fan, this is a must have for me, even if I haven't been reading that many comics. They never run out of things to make me spend on, do they?
