BRITAIN PREVAILS - Captain Britain & MI13 Appreciation PART II

[Willow616]

Then again there is Jessica Drew Spider Woman, What enemies what you like to see in the tv/cartoon series?

After Bendis managed to totally retcon Jess into being non-Brit I can't see there being any cross-over of enemies from the UK

WOW !!! was looking about on Ebay here in the UK and found this gem of a cover up for sale !! God, takes me back to my school days and picking up that issue on the way home !

That is amazing........unfortunately I barely have enough money for current Marvel!

i like to pester Tom Brevoort now and then, he answered my latest question...

hey Tom, there is a pretty good showing of Brits in the Marvel U these days, any chance of something ongoing for Captain Britain in the near future, a Union Jack appearance would be nice too, but thats just me being greedy, cheers.

You'll want to keep an eye on AVENGERS ASSEMBLE.



i'd heard that he was in an upcoming issue, dare we hope he'll be a regular?

I'd love CB to become a regular on another team and I really like Kelly Sue DeConnick.....surely it can't be worse that what we've suffered lately.

Speaking of which...when exactly is Secret Avengers # 37 out.....some places say this week, some say next and Marvel.com doesn't say anything!

there's a new Slaymaster. would you be against an rising (slightly more physically active) crime figure taking up the Vixen mantle; a challenge to the throne, so to speak?

Plausibly. Although to overthrow The Vixen you'd really have to establish her and her network first. Otherwise it would have no real impact.

You know, a bit like why no STATUS QUO CHANGING MEGA EVENT at Marvel has really worked since Secret Invasion. Because you actually have to establish a status quo over a long time in order for changing it to have any impact. :)

I'd like to see Slaymaster though. New or Old.

me, i'd like to see Black Air return; the "Hydra" to MI13's "SHIELD."

Black Air are great. But again I think you'd need to introduce them much later. Black Air worked because WHO were well established for like 5 years of continuity. Their sudden disappearance, and the hostile takeover of Black Air, had impact because of that. On the surface they were just a more ruthlessly efficient version of WHO. That's how the presented themselves. But behind the scenes had their own agenda.

i'd also like to see more of Black Tom and maybe some new non-american villains. they shouldn't have to import the Wrecking Crew all the time.

Always annoys e wjen they do. The Wrecking Crew are so incredibly devoid of any personality. They're just the lazy go to when nobody can think of a proper villain to use.

Black Tom is a great character. And while I'm not sure if they have the rights to use the Juggernaut he could stand on his own.

I was actually thinking about a new Vixen the other day. I can think of two existing British villains who could fit the role. Emma Steed and Sari St. Hubbins. Both would be interesting choices to oppose Captain Britain and/or Pete Wisdom.

Well both have a connection. St Hubbins in particular for Wisdom.

However, I thought it was always at least implied that when Sat-yr-9 had Nigel Frobisher morphed into The Vixen she took control of her interests through him. Which might explain how she eventually wormed her way into the Hellfire Club.

Black Air would be a great equivalent to AIM. Personally, I feel that Britain's version of HYDRA should be the Bane. Grace looked quite a lot like Madame Hydra towards the end of Knights of Pendragon vol.1 actually.

That's a fair point, actually. I'd love to see The Bane established as a full on Captain Britain and MI13 adversary. Technically wherever they go the Green Knight should be creating new Knights of Pendragon... but like Marvel US are ever going to revive that! :(

Impressive, no. I actually bid on it while it was still under £50. That did not last. :) It's an amazing piece. THE iconic cover of The Daredevils for me.

Where did you hear this? I dropped that book after the Guardians of the Galaxy arc. Damn it. :)

It started that LOW ?? WOW would have been a great buy at that price but now its silly money ! but still like you said very iconic cover !

[Tatsu666]

I was going to write a long arse story of what i think they should do but instead just bring back the old Slaymaster pissed off and yet intrigued that Brian killed him so he ups his game by finding and joining the Vixen and taking the new Slaymaster under he's wing to train him.

It's listed as Reserve not Met, so I'm figuring this item was relisted. Makes you wonder what the reserve actually IS on the auction.

Of course, if this were a TV project you could just introduce the original Slaymaster. His blinding of Betsy is something you would HAVE to make use of.

[Tatsu666]

True and if the red lord was in it i would like them to put the other celtic gods in just to at least show that marvel has other gods as well then the ones you see.

Yes ! I hate it when people reserve a price on an item then let the bidding start low ! Maybe he was not clear on its value then add a reserve as it went on

UPDATE reserve now gone as the cover has hit £500.00 ! like I said, silly money ! (hoping it go's for £616.00)

[Tatsu666]

Then again maybe marvel 's next game that they make should be contest of champions skyfather edition

[Demon Bowler]

I'm hoping for costomisable characters in Lego marvel game so I can create Captain Britain and MI13

Awesome Tv show ideas and awesome cover.

Hadn't thought of that. That'd be AWESOME.

[Captain Clarkie]

St Hubbins? As in the Patron Saint of Quality Footwear? Emma Steed's a bit much too, better than John Peel I suppose.

[Gallifrey]

Talking of Emma, here's Betsy wearing a Peelesque catsuit on the cover of X Men NOW #1:

Like the new look, hope it sticks. It's about time she got a pair of trousis.

did you read her motion comic? she had a very obvious british accent; if that counts for anything. i think it's far time that the UK-verse claimed her. it needs more characters like this; that can cross over/become popular. Captain Britain, while a great character, isn't going to cut it. Nightcrawler returning would help, as well. he's one of the more popular mutants, apparently.

Sweet. I'll need to check that issue out.

Talking of pestering, has anyone else been posting questions to the Fearless Defenders creative team Cullen Bunn and Will Sliney? I noticed that James has. I asked about any future involvement of British characters. The answer I got was a strong maybe. And Cullen has obviously thought about Elsa Bloodstone at some point for the team. James mentioned Lionheart and Motormouth. Both would be interesting additions and fantastic British representatives.

Here's hoping for the future then.
