Marvel 1602

Dan sits down with Kevin Thompson from the Cinema Geeks podcast to discuss his experience reading Neil Gaiman and Andy Kubert’s limited series, Marvel 1602. They explore the series' historical fiction setting, the challenge of identifying reimagined comic characters without prior reading, and how the verbose, novel-like writing style impacts the pacing of the narrative. They also compare the dense ensemble storytelling to other media like Game of Thrones and analyze the effectiveness of the art style in establishing the tone of the Elizabethan era.
