Comics Official CAPTAIN BRITAIN AND MI:13 Discussion Thread

thanks.

I love this preview!!! The art looks quite nice, and stopping a bank robbery is so Excaliburish (see issues 1-2 of the original run). I can't wait for it. Chris is a genius

Rule Britannic...britannic Rules The Otherworld...britannic Never Never Ever Will Be A Slave.

Wow, someone stopped reading Excalibur a LONG time ago. Brian hasn't been Britannic since somewhere around issue 90 of the original series.

We could still use some help with this title here:

Goddess I'm giggling like a schoolgirl ...

 

[JewishHobbit]

That has me very interested. I like it when writiers tie things past and present together. This reminds me of X-Men 2099 when the X-Men faught copies of the original X-Men. We learned they weren't the original X-Men and they became lost souls. Then the Theatre of Pain, a later bigger threat picked up those fake X-Men and made them agents, leading to the big 25th issue climax of the storyline.

 

[Havok83]

Im glad the dark X-men are back bc I loved them in the beginning

 

[Valechan]

I don't truly care about them, if he wanted deadly x-men he should've picked the second gen, what really excites me is the return of Kelsey... I'm a fan of Lionheart

1. Juggs was pretty pointless in this issue...especially considering all the Cytorrak business.

2. Dazzler's new ways of using her powers are interesting, but maybe a bit too much too soon.

3. Cap using his superspeed was awesome

4. Sage looks like she did in X-Treme X-Men

 

[squeekness]

I just hope Talia is going to be okay....

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I wonder where this stroke/amnesia came from. Good thing we get the conclusion in 2 weeks

 

[squeekness]

Yeah, that's a plus. But I am dropping the book after this arc, I hate Claremont with a passion. I might pick up the first book of his run just to see where it's going, but I didn't advance order it just to be safe.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I don't wanna drop the book; although CC is making me like this and Exiles a bit less.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Honestly, his stuff when he started this book was better than when whatshisface took over. I think he's doing fine here. And I liked his first issue of Exiles just fine, so I'm excited to see what happens there.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

^Your optimism is much appreciated and needed

CC's first archs of each book have been/look like they wil lcontinue to be lackluster. Seems like more filler than anything else.

 

[Havok83]

I didnt read the last issue, jsut skimmed through it. As far as what Dazzler did with her powers, um WHY? It looked like Claremont was trying to emulate Psylocke through her. I didnt like it at all

 

[Kevin]

I haven't read the lastest issue of this (or any x-book) Will try today or sometime this week.

 

[Havok83]

Okay I was forgiving when Tieri was writing but Claremont is back so

Spoiler

WHY hasnt there been any mention of Psylocke? Brian is going on as if his sister didnt just disappear on him. Why isnt Excalibur out looking for her or at least questioning what happened the issue she dissappeared? This makes NO sense to me

 

[Kevin]

I'm sure Claremont has plans for that. Hell, he's writing both books with the siblings.

CC must really really love Betsy
