I really wasn't too impressed. I'll check out #2. But I won't get 3 if it's more of the same.

Everything was new to me . . I really liked the idea of the John skrull . . and I liked Captain Britian killing skrulls left and right . . it was just fun to me . . .

Who's spitfire ? . . why is she a crazy maniac . . ?

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Seemed fun, I wonder if it would if I had any idea what was happening.

Spitfire was a WWII era British hero with no powers, until a blood transfusion from Jim Hammaond (the android Human Torch) saved her from becoming a vampire (she was bitten by a relative - she's the Lady Falsworth) and gave her super-speed powers. And now she's also showing the vampiric effects or something.

Don't you read Brubaker Cap? She's in that. If you're not reading it you really need to its a really cool story.

I liked #1 a lot, great intro to the characters, lots of action but still good character moments. It is my firm belief that Paul Cornell will become, if he wants to, the Geoff Johns of the Marvel world. He gets why the universe is cool, he writes the characters well and yet he doesn't resort to slavish retro imitation nor fanwankery.

I love this book! The Black Knight is in it and Union jack is supposed to make an appearance also. I first read CB in Excalibur (Vol 1) and have been tracking down his appearances.

I didnt even know this one was coming out, I just saw it on the new release rack and had to buy it!
