All’s not well in the Marvel Universe in the year 1602 as strange storms are brewing and strange new powers are emerging! Comics-writing legend and New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman (Sandman, American Gods), along with the art team of the best-selling ORIGIN, Andy Kubert and Richard Isanove, brings to life a rich new vision of the Marvel Universe. Spider-Man, the X-Men, Nick Fury, Dr. Strange, Daredevil, Dr. Doom, Black Widow, Captain America and more appear in the waning days of the reign of Queen Elizabeth. As the world begins to change and enter into a new age, Gaiman weaves a thrilling mystery. How and why are these Marvel stars appearing nearly 400 years before they’re supposed to?
