Anyone reading 1602?

I’d like to have a general discussion of this comic. It’s turning out to be a pretty good story with some amazing artwork (what else would you expect from Gaiman/Kubert?)

But I have one quick question: Who the hell is Virginia Dare?!! That really took me by surprise at the end of Issue 2. The only person I can think of that she might be, though it’s a bit of a stretch, is

Mystique

Who do you think she is?

Virginia is a historical figure, just like Queen Elizabeth. Why she turns into a giant owl is beyond me. It’s certain that she is NOT Alpha Flight’s Snowbird, as Gaiman has sworn to limit the cast of characters to Marvel folk existing before 1969.

I know that. She was the first Euro baby born in the new world. But What I was asking about was why

she turns into a giant owl

That’s why I was thinking she might be

mystique

The guy writing this seems to think she’s

The Hulk

but I don’t know, mainly because I can’t find 1602 anywhere.
