Captain Britain And Mi 13 #4

Review by Hellblazer:

Captain Britain And Mi 13 #4

WRITER: PAUL CORNELL
PENCILS: LEONARD KIRK
INKS: JESSE DELPERDANG
COLORED BY: BRIAN REBER
COVER BY: BRYAN HITCH

Price: $2.99


I have to say the final issue of this arc felt a little flat compared to the previous three, not to mention the somewhat Power Ranger-style ending where everyone laughs.  That aside, I love this book. Cornell’s background gives the reader a very natural British tone, where most writers would simply have each character say “bloody” at least three times in order to seem authentic.  Not to mention in a very trade-centric industry, Cornell’s plan of having at least the first few arcs be  4 issues long, seems not only refreshing but makes each comic feel very driven and action-packed.  The great reaction to this book does make me wonder why Excalibur was never given to Cornell.  That said I can’t wait to see where this book takes us.  Plus, how often can you say that you’re a Captain Britain fan and not be met with insane laughter?

Excalibur WAS given to Cornell. This book began its development AS Excalibur. But the decision was made by the X-Men Office to change its name, as there had been at 3 failed Excalibur relaunches while Nick Lowe had been at Marvel. So he suggested the name change.

Interesting, thanks for clearing that up for me.

Probably better for it in the long run to not be so closely connected to the X-banner.
