OMG! A comic set in Birmingham with Captain Midlands?? The guys at work fell about laughing when I told 'em about this issue. I dunno, I guess that for us Brits, our comic book superheroes always seem more plausible when set in the US, not in our own backyard. ;o)
Posted by Garrett on 10/13/08 at 05:42 PM@Garrett-tell me about it. Picking up Uncanny X-men and seeing Angel flying off the Golden Gate bridge doesn't exactly resonate the same way with me as it does when he flys around NYC.
I am really excited about this issue. Lets hope for more Blade stabbing and some Wisdom humor!
Posted by drakedangerz on 10/13/08 at 05:48 PMCap B & MI 13 has yet to dissapoint. I can't wait to grab this.
Posted by burn on 10/13/08 at 07:33 PMI'm still a little skeptical about having Blade join the group. But I'll hold out since the rest of the book is such a great read.
Posted by JKExar on 10/13/08 at 07:51 PMDropping. It just doesn't grab me=(.
Posted by Ruo21 on 10/13/08 at 10:11 PMLoved the last issue. My first issue cause I wanted to see how this series does without SI helping it. It is worth your time and money people, one of the best series Marvel is offering right now.
And Blade is in it....Who Knew?
Posted by TheNextChampion on 10/13/08 at 11:34 PMGlad to see Leonard Kirk back on pencilling duties
Posted by SixGun on 10/14/08 at 08:09 AMI'm dropping unfortunately. It's a purely financial consideration. I have to trim the pull list and this is is getting the axe.
Posted by AlexG on 10/14/08 at 11:38 AMPicked this up after seeing Kirk's art on the first issue, and have loved it ever since
Posted by greendart32 on 10/14/08 at 04:05 PMI think that last issue was my favorite so far. This series gets better issue by issue.
Posted by torippu on 10/14/08 at 11:09 PMWow, more pulls for this than for Astonishing X-men? That's encouraging.
Posted by shogunt on 10/15/08 at 01:49 PMThis title was a bit confusing at first, bouncing here and there and everywhere. But a solid read nonetheless. I love the spoon collecting line. Paul Cornell is quickly becoming the best when it comes to witty banter. Anyone else notice the goof with Spitfire's arm?
Posted by drakedangerz on 10/15/08 at 07:08 PMThis is the first book by Cornell that I have read. her is quickly becoming a fave of mine.
Posted by kingvyper on 10/16/08 at 01:08 AMI'd sell my soul for that cheeseburger and babes fantasy too.
Posted by cman12 on 10/16/08 at 03:12 AMBlade - boring
Captain Midlands - awesome!
Posted by coltrane68 on 10/16/08 at 05:20 PMOoh, I loved this issue - such pretty colours!
Posted by Garrett on 10/16/08 at 05:41 PMSomething was off with this issue for me. I did'nt enjoy it as much as previous issues.
Posted by Kory on 10/16/08 at 10:59 PMThis was a really strong issue. And god knows that cliffhanger should have a few people happy.
Posted by theswordisdrawn on 10/17/08 at 04:40 AM@coltrane68 agree why did we need Blade. Everyone already forgot he was english
Posted by cyberauron on 10/18/08 at 04:38 PMi thought blade wanst to bad. i dont think he will be a constent char, or even last long but he adds something that no one esle has. unwavering dedication to his job.
blade isnt a favorite of mine but i thought someone should stand up for him.
Posted by CaptianJack on 10/18/08 at 10:04 PM@Captian: I see what ya mean about Blade. I mean it's great Cornell is using a C level hero and trying to make him a big team player. But if his role is just gonna be 'kill first' or 'hate vampires' before anything else....he isnt gonna last long in this series.
Posted by TheNextChampion on 10/18/08 at 11:35 PM@CaptainJack: Blade is planned as a long term character. Yes, at this point he is very much gunning for Spitfire. But Blade isn't JUST about killing Vampires. He slay anything of a demon ilk, and let's be realistic here - Wisdom let a hell of a lot of THOSE out into the British collective conscious. That's going to be MI13's remit from here on out. And frankly you won't find many better for the job.
Posted by theswordisdrawn on 10/19/08 at 05:14 AMI thought this issue was a little off. Not as enjoyable as the previous, maybe it is the additon of Blade. Here's to hoping Brian gets back his bride.
Posted by saturnmda on 10/19/08 at 08:44 AM@theswordisdrawn Yeah that's what i've been saying to all my friends. Blade is your one stop shop for demon killing.
Posted by RoiVampire on 10/20/08 at 11:10 AMDidn't enjoy this issue much at all. Honestly I can't see what all the fuss about this series is. It's not great. Two more issues then I drop it.
Posted by mountainwindcat on 10/21/08 at 11:17 AMWhat exactly don't you like about it, Mountainwildcat?

Yay! More CB&MI13 sans skrulls. Yay!
