Ok so I recently saw that Union Jack is going to make an appearence in Captain America. Also he is in the promotional art for Civil War. I have read the John Cassaday mini and the New Invaders series, but I want to know if he has showed up in anything else since then. I am kind of interested in this character and would like to see more of him. Thanks for your help. :D

Yes, the current Union Jack was a member of the New Invaders in that recent series.

Well I meant besides that. I feel like Ive read everything about that character and I just want to know where else he has appeared.

Since New Invaders? Just a cameo in an issue of Captain America. #2 or #3, I think.

Behold, the Marvel Chronology Project (http://www.chronologyproject.com/u.htm) So yes, cameos in Thunderbolts, Captain America, and the Avengers arc that led into the New Invaders book.

I liked it when he popped up in the Exiles as the Lord of the Vampires.

That was so bad it was funny.

Pick up Image's Jack Staff. Originally a rejected Union Jack pitch, some see it as the definitive take on the character (though it's supposedly a different character).

The funny thing is, I read jack staff! Well I guess I just have to settle for guest appearences in cap.

Just to warn you, some of those appearences are very small. A panel or two. IIRC in one of the Thunderbolt issues, he is just in the background of a splash page.

Union Jack is a cool cat, I bought all the New Invaders books and pretty much enjoyed all of his appearances there although his relationship with Spitfire is a very odd one.

He's going to pop up in Cap #19 seen on this cover so it should be a kickass team-up:

The current Union Jack is by no means the original, who I believe fiought back in WWII. This current incarnation was indeed in New Invaders (Gone too soon... :( ) And is also the same Union Jack of Marvel UK's Knights of Pendragon (Both series).

Although I think almost everybody would like to forget his radical costume change and sudden buffness from Knights of Pendragon vol 2. Joey looked simply ridiculous in that. And yes it really was in continuity.
