Captain Britain and MI13

review 1: The pros: This story is a showcase for the Peter Wisdom character as the whole outcome pivots on his involvement as leader of MI13. This British paranormal service was something new to me and I would be interested in finding out more about it and its leader and it is the reason I have given it 3 stars rather than a lower rating.The cons: I wasn't particularly impressed with the premise of the villain's plot or such things as using ballistically-fired vampires as weapons—which was just plain silly as far as I'm concerned. To my mind the whole story also suffered with its lack of properly showing the scale of the distances involved, which were considerable but were treated with a lot of handwaving.N.B. It was nice to see the creators include the recovery of the Black Knigh... moret's black sword from where it had been lost in an earlier graphic novel. It's nice to see some continuity being honoured in these things.Nuff said. Your mileage may differ.
review 2: What made me first look into Captain Britain and MI13 was picking up an issue at a comic store and flipping open to a page showing Dr. Doom meeting Dracula on the moon. I realized instantly that one image summed up pretty much everything I read comics for, and I knew I had to read the series it came from.So far I've not been disappointed. Captain Britain and MI13 is everything I'd do if you put me in charge of a group of second-string superheroes in the Marvel universe, only distinctly more British. It's brilliant and awesome and pretty much everything I could ask for from a superhero comic.This trade finally contains the issue that sold me on the series to begin with, and it's exactly as great as I'd hoped. If you have any interest at all in superhero comics and you haven't checked out Captain Britain and MI13, get on it! less
