Another social casualty...

My comic shopswas already sold out of TotV #2. They said that they were getting more. Apparently, they were ordering TotV based on the Buffy comics sales, and it is selling way more copies than Buffy ever did.

(Edit: Can't type and eat at the same time.)

1602: It's all coming together, oh yeah.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Gah! I forgot to go out and get my copy of 1602 last night. I'll have to stop by the comic store on the way home this evening.

I picked up 1602 #4 and #5 last week and didn't know #6 was out yesterday! Does anyone know if there is a summary online explaining who all the characters are in the Marvel-verse?

Jess Nevins was keeping annotations for 1602. Don't know if they are up to date, but they are here.

What I've been looking for is a bio sheet on the original Marvel versions of the characters (including Snowbird, because I want to look at her story again). Someone linked to a good site, but I can't find it again. If anyone else cares,here's Marvel's very incomplete list, and here's a fan's list.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I am so confused by 1602.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Michele, me too, but at least I'm also entertained. And-- cartoon Neil! Wee, surly cartoon Neil!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I am so confused by 1602.

Is it a storyline issue or a Marvel Universe issue, because if it's the former (not sure if this counts as spoilery or not)#6 answers a lot. Most of my MU knowledge comes from watching the cartoons and reading a big paperback book that had the first issues of several of the comics in it. (I believe it had X-Men, Daredevil, Iron Man, and the Silver Surfer in it. Don't recall if it had any others.)

The new issue exposits a lot, but it doesn't make sense. Like, how is Thor the secret of the Templars? And what's with the flying non-monkeys?

So I guess it's Marvelverse stuff.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Like, how is Thor the secret of the Templars? And what's with the flying non-monkeys?

Yeah, I went "Huh?" when the maguffin turned out to be Thor's walking stick. They do sort of handwave an explanation about the Norse sending it to the Templars, but it seemed a big time asspull to me.

The non-flying monkeys are patterned after the Vulture, who was an old Spiderman villain, although I don't recall much about him. I don't think he was ever a Doom minion.
