Comics are not typically known for having stellar sequels. The follow-up series to the critically acclaimed “Kingdom Come,” titled “The Kingdom,” is one shining—it might be more appropriate to say dull—example of this. For this reason, I was reluctant to pick up the latest Marvel miniseries “1602: New World,” which is a sequel of the highly successful 2004 miniseries “1602.” However, curiosity got the better of me—particularly because of the historical setting of the comic—and I decided to give it a try.
