A last hurrah for P. Cornell and his MI:13 crew at MARVEL?
Hope not but consider it bought either way.

Cant wait for this, lurve Spitfire. I really wish she could play a bigger role, i would love to see her work with Steve Rogers more.

sounds like it's going to be interesting, and we can probably expect to see a lot more of the duo seeing as vampires are set to really root themselves in the mainstream.

Looking forward to this. I've loved Spitfire since I was a kid.

She loves the city of old. But to our British heroes, the hub of the Marvel Universe is, I don't know, probably somewhere in Kent.
Hahaha brilliant.

Anyone ever pick this up? If so how was it?
Thinking about tracking this down somehow. I don't know how this could have escaped me. Marvel really needs to start utilizing their British characters againBaltimore Ravens 2013 Super Bowl Champions
