I just finished 1602 #1. Should we discuss here in whitefont, or go over to LJ or someplace like that?

Do it here! And whitefont? Please. I don't know LJ land and want to see what you guys say but haven't read it yet.
And yes, this is all about me.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I read 1602. There are a few characters who I don't know who their superhero counterpart is. (Does that make sense? Like Peter Parker being Spider-Man.) But there are some who I clearly knew.
I'm intrigued enough to want to read more.

Like who?

I love how they translated everyone into the new time period.
I'm pretty sure that the nun and the scribe who were with the Inquisitor were the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver--Magneto's two kids.
The girl on the Virginia Maid kinda-sorta looks like she might be Storm.
Other spoilery things: I love the idea of Nick Fury as Walsingham and Dr. Strange as Dr. John Dee. The cameo of Foggy Nelson as the captain of Matt Murdock's ship was a nice touch. The 1602 version of Daredevil is probably my favorite of the characters so far, but Peter Parker is somewhat annoying.
One last question: The obvious answer to the identity of the Inquisitor would be Magneto, but that seems too simple. Does anyone else have any other ideas?

re: Anne's One Last Question, and without having seen the comic: Dr. Doom I might guess. He being the nearest Marvel equivalent to a Lex Luthor character.

Diablo Robotico Up.
The Buffyverse could really get some more aggressive traction with a more complete "Expanded Universe" kind of thing a la Star Wars. In a functional sense, the Fray series was a step in that direction.
That and an Elseworlds type of thing would be interesting also, but my biases for alternate realities/crossover stories are showing.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Hmmm... Based on Anne's comments, I don't see the point in my buying this series. I would barely get any of it.

Jon, the things I mentioned are more like shout outs than actual plot points. The story itself is quite entertaining.

Who? moi??
I found all of the Fray comics at one store. If anyone wants me to get them, squeek fast. They are 3.00 each, plus tax and shipping.
