Captain Britain and MI-13

[CaptainCanada]

I believe they mean after the whole Dracula thing wraps up. That's about the same as both Runaways and She-Hulk.

 

[Dread]

That is a possibility. By the time the Dracula/Doom arc is finished, CB&MI13 will be on issue #13 or so, and a relaunch about then isn't unheard of. If there is interest in other markets, such as trades or the U.K., then the book will continue or be revived, like SHE-HULK and RUNAWAYS. Heck, even AGENTS OF ATLAS is returning, it just took a few years and a handful of random one-shot stories in random anthologies to do so.

 

[CaptainCanada]

"Vampire State" is scheduled to go to #15, plus possibly an Annual, I believe.

 

[Dread]

I see. That's cool, at least. By then, trade sales can be analyzed and Marvel's editors can decide whether to relaunch the title, keep it going or cancel it. Of course, it could see a boost in sales with some guest appearances, even if those rarely last long.

I think this book is staying around for the time being because Nick Lowe as a personal interest in it....

 

[bryanss3]

They should have Captain Britain team up with Spider-Man to go up against Arcade.

That's good.

That would be interesting, and of course a reference to that MARVEL TEAM-UP issue. Still, neither Spider-Man or Wolverine (or Punisher or Ghost Rider or Venom) have been capable of boosting sales these days with guest stints, as they were in the late 80's and in the 90's.

I didn't even mean to boost sales I just want to see Arcade do something. I've always been a fan of the character I'm not sure why really. his last appearance I recall was in X-Factor and his escape was really clever, but I'd like to see more use of him as a character and where better to start than have him deal with Spider-Man and Captain Britain just like his first appearance. and Captain Britain is great I don't get why it isn't one of the top selling books.

 

[Dread]

Arcade always shows up every few years in random X-books or other places.

 

[bryanss3]

did you ever read Claws the Wolverine/Black Cat mini? I thought it was awful I didn't even know Arcade was in it but there he was. it seemed like they were Trying to make Arcade and White Rabbit come off as the Joker and Harley Quinn but instead of beating her he just tells he she's fat and says its reverse psychology.

 

[Dread]

No, I knew to avoid CLAWS. It looked like rubbish.

 

[bryanss3]

I'd assume most did avoid it. I mean its a wolverine mini. I only got it cause I liked the Black Cat

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Arcade appeared in X-Factor not long ago. Pretty good appearance, to be honest, and I don't even like Arcade much.

 

[bryanss3]

I know I enjoyed that appearance and I thought his escape was really funny

 

[Dread]

Arcade's biggest problem was escaping looking or appearing like a Poor Man's Joker, I think. I never minded him. Some of the first reprints I read of the UXM were of his debut. He was cool on THE THING a few years ago.

 

[chamber-music]

I don't remember ever reading a 616 comic with Arcade in. I've only seen him in Ultimate X-Men.

yeah he looks like a discoed up platform shoe wearing Joker with stupid puffy red/orange hair. but In his most recent X-factor appearance he looked like this

instead of like this

which is a step up but the man needs to take off that ridiculous Bow Tie.
I was actually planning on getting the Thing TPB I've heard it was really fun.

 

[yenaled]

I really liked Arcade in X-Factor, he worked very well.

Wow. It's like comparing a Joker rip-off to a ginger Doctor Who.

 

[The Englishman]

Thats what i was thinking too.....
I would like to see Arcade battle Captain Britain again.

 

[chris moore]

Dane: He doesn't appear to have his Avalonian equipment any longer. Though the winged horse he rode when visiting Faiza's parents may have been Strider I'm not sure.

Anyone else like it if he started using the shield, armour and Strider again? Not so much the sword of light because his retrieval of the ebony blade and taking on the responsibility of bearing its curse is very much an ongoing part of the book. But the other equipment that gives him a mystical boost to aid his fight against all the mystical stuff tat's been released.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The winged horse was most likely Strider. Aragorn was Dane's other white horse, and he was eaten by Kraven in Punisher: War Journal whatever.

I don't mind the new gear. The energy shield has a cool look, and it harkens back to the tech/magic duality that Dane does so well. I could stand to see a bit more armor over his boring plain clothes, though. A helmet is not a costume, for crying out loud.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Aragorn II is back. I suppose it's the second one. Anywho Valkyrie has been riding one lately.

Blades a pimp can't believe he is gonna get his freak on with Lady J.
Looks like we are back to the old 70s Tomb Of Dracula Pimp Blade (long since forgotten).
Its weird to think that Blades over 100 years old and Spitfires atleat 80 years old.

Something tells me Kenneth ain't gonna like his mums new boyfriend still it must beat her dating one of his friends.

I still don't like the weird two lightning bolt tattoo or hair cut thing Blade is rocking. Good to see him loosen up and not just be like he has been in other comics all 'Kill All Vampires, Look Angery, Grrr'. Even Wolverine gets some happy time when his not being Mr Badass Stab Man.

Love Danes full armor costume and Faiza costume is cool too. Not too over the top. Danes got more Magic cursed swords than Scott Summers got children.

Its never a good thing to be a girlfriend Pete Wisdoms you will only end up in a body bag.

Dear BENDIS

This Is How Its Done!

 

[Manic]

and Faiza costume is cool too.

Holy crap. I flipped open my issue as soon as I read that. I didn't even realize Faiza was wearing a costume, but there it is! I like it. It's all medieval squirey, which is just perfect for someone who's both Black Knight's steward AND the chosen owner of excalibur.
