My Review
This is one of my favorite (non-Moore) comics. It has many of the best characters of the Marvel. Its historic setting is very interesting to anyone who has studied his period of history. The story starts off a little slow, but it picks up in the late half and the becomes very good at the end.
As for the artwork, it is not the best I have seen, but it is still good. Little details like trying to match historic picture to the picture in the comic and the use of a style that matches a more historic work give it some great details.
For those of you who like Neil Gaiman other main work the Sandman be warned that this is not that comic they are very different, but if you like the characters in the Marvel Universe and you like history and the what ifs of history that you will what to read this comic.
