Captain Britain And Mi 13 #2

The Skrulls are winning in England. Their mysterious goal there could turn the tide of the invasion. The emergence of the fabled sword Excalibur (once again locked in stone) may lead to salvation. But who can claim the mythic weapon? Pete Wisdom? Spitfire? John the Skrull? The Black Knight ? And what is the fate of Captain Britain?

Someone tell me if this is a limited series or not. I don't mind following it for 5-6 issues, but I don't think I can commit wholly to this book.

As far as I can tell, it isn't being name like a mini-series or limited.

this is going to be an ongoing, and it seems like Paul Cornell has big plans for this series after the initial SI tie-in. He's only been given the okay for 12 issues so far, but I'm on board and I hope this can stick around for a while.

Issue 1 was great , I will gladly keep on reading.

The only Book i'm really excited about. I hope we get a Scene where John play's a Guitar =)

The first issue was better than any issue of SI so far, and I'm on board for the long haul.

Considering the quality of the first issue, I'm not surprised at the # of pulls for this issue. I know issue #1 sold out quickly at my LCS.

Issue 1 was fantastic so I can't wait for this one. This is what I wanted Secret Invasion to be !

the first issue really surprised me hopefully the series will be able to maintain after its intial SI tie ins

I have a feeling most of the SI tie-ins will end up being better than SI itself.  There just doesn't seem to be much happening, while all the fighting takes place elsewhere.  They're fighting in the Captain Britain book, they'll be fighting in the X-men book, they'll be fighting in the YA/Runaways book. The main SI book has people standing around talking, while we get two pages to the actual war taking place on the streets of NY.  Pretty sad.

They did WWH as an all fighting "event" an I thought that was much waker than the secret invasion mini thus far.  I have liked the actual battle in MI5 so far though.

My store doesn't stock this.  I imagine it will get collected though. Am I right?  I really want to read it in someway at sometime.

@CopaRamsey it will probably be collected, but I say make your store order it or find it at another store. Only two issues out so far (and they've both been great), so it shouldn't be hard to catch up.

this is a great book.  i bought the first one on a wime not expecting anything but i liked it so much i put it on my list.  second book was almost just as good as the first.

This comic almost makes up for the lack of a Paul Cornell written Doctor Who episode this year.

Posted by SamMorgan on 06/12/08 at 05:18 AM

I'm loving the potential I see in this.  Hopefully it can be a book to last beyond SI.  It is great to see what's happening on the other side of the pond.  Lot's of intriguing characters that I'd like to see more of.
