Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert
As a side note to that announcement - be sure to get your copies early, since there were many reports of issue #1 selling out quickly, and #2 issues are traditionally (although probably not in this case) ordered in lower quantities.
(Side note to the side note - reports are in that 1602 #1 was the top selling comic last month).

My 1602 #1 is now living with SA, so I hope I remember everything from it.

Art Crawl!!!
Sadly, I'm going to have to wait 'til Monday due to extreme lack of funds.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was just coming in here to ask.
I still haven't reread 1602.1 with the commentary. I need to do that.

I 've been hands under the shirt, over the bra, Calvins in a wad on the front seat with some S7 Buffy spoilers - but we never went all the way ~tinaf
Kalshane...I agree, I haven't finished it yet, not because it's hard but due to lack of time. I still play the first one, but this one will hit the shelf and stay there once it's complete I think. You're right, Faith handled fairly similarly to Buffy, but she was more entertaining at least.
I'm not sure what happened with The Collective, but I sure wish they stuck around. Everything was just of a higher quality. I have stupid nitpicks, but one of the things that bothers me to no end is how the characters can "walk" over things that are above them, there's no kind of climbing effort and it seems very fake. The other one was so close to reality I felt like I was actually playing an episode.
Also the return of Sid was kind of pointless and I got my butt kicked playing him until I figured out how to do his one and only move (where he claws at the enemy with both hands). I still do like it, but I had an endless list of frustrations between the two. The game itself was not at all bad, but it felt like going backwards in quality.

I've seen people here talking about 1602 here, and you've probably explained what it is, but I'm a skipper so I probably missed it.
Would someone be able to give me a quick summary of what it is?

1602 is Neil Gaiman's reimagining of the Marvel Universe in 1602 Elizabethian England. The X-Men are condemned as witches, Captain America is a Native American and Doctor Strange reimagined as John Dee as examples.
