Comics Official CAPTAIN BRITAIN AND MI:13 Discussion Thread

so She'll probably be back in the main book after the Dracula arc wraps up.

Assuming the main book isn't cancelled after that. Sales have been terrible. I think too many people assumed this was going to be a continuation of New Excalibur.

 

[The Englishman]

So this book has been cancelled then.......

Most of the discussion happens in the Marvel section of the Comic Books forums. Anyway, this book was cancelled a while back. #15 is the final issue.

oh, i JUST read that somewhere else. that blows.

 

[OutcryX]

yeah. i called that awhile back

OK just finished reading all the past issues and I've gotta say, as a Brit I found this comic to be such a cliche. Merlin, Magic, a Skrull impersonating John Lennon, the sword Excalibur, CAPTAIN MIDLANDS??????....COME ON!

I would have expected more from a British writer, but then again he is a "Doctor Who" writer, so nuff said.

Honestly if Marvel wants to create a good British based superhero comic centred around "MI:13" they should have gotten the writers from Kudos Entertainment who write the British spy series "Spooks" (Screened as "MI:5" in the States).

That being said though, Vampire Nation does seem to have some potential and I'm glad Meagan is making her comeback.

It's official. Pete Wisdom is a genius.

 

[cerealkiller182]

I never read Wisdom till this title (which Im loving btw). Has he always been characterized like this, because I was under the impression he was just meh

 

[Manic]

I think Cornell is the only writer to make him this brilliant strategist, but I like this characterization.
