I mean, I know who Raphael, Michelangelo and Leonardo were named after -I'm not a COMPLETE imbecile- but now I know who Don is named after I feel complete. And finally:

Neil Gaiman's Marvel 1602 and Batman and the Mad Monk. The comics I have finished reading obviously. 1602 basically has all the Marvel superheroes re-imagined as 'witch-breeds' in Elizabethan times. While I love Gaiman, I don't think this works as fully if you have no prior knowledge of the Marvel-verse and it's characters, although it's still a solid story. Slightly let down by the Batman book, this is set straight after Batman: Year Two and has Bats dealing with a series of murders which appear to have been committed by a vampire. Some nice Gordon/Bats moments and background, but that's about it.
