Gah. I need to find out if there's a comic store near work. The wait is killing me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Now I'm spoiler ho-ing for 1602. So far I've found out which Marvel characters will NOT appear, and that's it.
The characters are (spoiler-fonted) Wolverine and Iron Man. From an interview with Gaiman: "One of the greatest challenges for this project was in deciding which Marvel characters to include, and which to omit. In the end, Gaiman says he had two cardinal rules: "1) The Marvel Universe will come into existence much the same way we're used to, only 400 years earlier, and 2) Jettison anything that doesn't forward the story." Case in point: Wolverine. Also Iron Man, since no matter how you slice him "he's still just a bloke in armor."
Want more.

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

Want. Now. I e-mailed my brother a link to a good Web article about it and said "Go buy this NOW. Or you are a fool."

Also with the WANT, NOW!
I think Paul enjoyed it, and he had no idea who any of them were. Actually, he probably enjoyed it more on first read, because he wasn't going "ooo, who's X?" like I was.
