Duh!
The characters:
on the Virginia maid! Steph, I think your friend is correct. Snowbird was an Alpha Flight character who was a metamorph, able to transform into giant forms of artic animals (giant owls for instance) along with magical powers from being tied with the land.
on the other hand I do believe that her protector is Steve Rogers...
I've got to say the 1602 was extremely cool. Very breezy. It seems hard to believe that there will only be 8 issues.
I have a question:
Was the Old Man Javier?
Also,
If the Grand Inquisitor is Magneto, does that mean he doesn't know that he is a "witchbreed"? Or maybe he has no powers?
I am supremely in love with the idea that
Virginia Dare's protector is Steve Rogers. Gaiman is a genius.
All this so that Neir Gaiman can regain the Miracleman/Marvelman rights. Well, at least the fans benefit.
Yo Plei--you get my email?
Nothing to say about 1602 save that I'll hopefully be getting it soon.
OK, I'm going to have to go into the comic book store and get 1602. Damn you all! I haven't set foot in a comic store in 15 years, except to get my Lovely Wife comic boxes, which work perfectly for storing sewing patterns.
Buffistas change your life, man.
You know, the
Captain America idea never occured to me, even though the guardian's name is "Rojhas" or something like that. Duh.
Can't wait 'til the next issue.
I would have never thought
of Steve Rogers. Yes! A Marvel character that I actually know something about (sorta).
My UBERcomicgeek!co-worker has sworn off buying "new" comics for years, the only comic he buys new issues for is Thor. And he is breaking down and getting 1602 this afternoon because I won't shut up about it.
We are engaged in a be-as-addicted-as-me war. He just got me a subscription to Wizard and I keep leaving my copies of the Last Man on his desk.
tina, get him the first issue of Thor: Vikings. That is a entry drug to other Garth Ennis books...
Just remembered, I did have to go into a comic store a few years ago to get God Loves, Man Kills for my son for Xmas.
Sweet!
Addiction and poverty - they're both so much better when you can drag your friends down with you.
