What if all of the Marvel heroes that we know and love were Marvel heroes in the year 1602? Well, Sir Nicholas Fury would be advisor to Queen Elizabeth, and his loyal assistant would be young Peter Parquagh, with a penchant for spiders. And the Inquisition would be trying and burning mutants at the stake, Dr. Doom would be a count keeping the Fantastick Four captive, and apparently the world might end because of a incredibly strong, blonde-haired American Indian named "Rojahz" (but pronounced Rogers. Marvel fans will see where he's going with that.) This was tougher than most Marvel works to get into, simply because of some of the language and making connections with who characters were seventeenth-century equivalents of. But it was well worth the read for those who like Marvel characters and also enjoy historical fiction.
