I just want to say i think it's weird to have Magneto be the Inquister. I feel like him and Javier should share the same view of the Witchbreed but be on opposite sides of the spectrum.

There. Minor nitpick out of the way. Before I could even be upset about it I was already flabberghasted by the appearance of the Vulture. (Didn't see that one coming).

For every weird choice and bad choice there is a brilliant choice. Like having Captain America be a Native American. (How is that not the standard forever)?

One of the wilder books
to spring from
the depths of
Gaiman's bottomless
imagination.

The Marvel Universe
has been written
over England
of the early 1600s.

Dr. Strange is the Queen's magician
Sir Nicholas Fury is her spy master

Reality begins to unravel
as it is revealed
that this "new"
reality is not
natural but the result
of a hero from
the future being banished.
Steve Rogers
was abducted by
his enemies and the
dimensional ship
flew askew
fucking up the time flow.

Brilliant
Clever
and Beautiful.

Comics in all their majesty.

Brilliant! The characters are true to form, and yet, very 17th century. And the names, oh lord. I don't know which one I like more, Carlos Javier, Peter Parquagh, Scotius Summerisle or Grand Inquisitor Enrique.
4 stars for the story and 5 stars for the art!

A very interesting series thus far; very pun heavy!
