This book is way better than an event tie-in co-starring D-list superheroes has any right to be. There's a functional plot that leaves the door open for the next arc, there's the introduction of a new heroine with a little bit of mystery, there's some deep cuts to Captain Britain lore, and the art generally tracks pretty well. My only complaint is that Captain Britain himself is rather off model: young, slender, enthusiastic, and basically just stepped out of 1980. This is ostensibly his series,...

I really wanted to like this more, but it was hard with how much it didn't make sense. There's not a lot of explanation and this is a really rough one for readers to dive into. I haven't read any Captain Britain books before this, so I understand that that's part of it, but the collection doesn't even have a character section or something similar in the beginning to get readers up to speed. I liked the magic elements, though I was only really able to follow this because of my background in folkl...
Truly enjoyed reading a Captain Britain story and he and Peter Wisdom and the others fighting the Skrulls wanting to take over magic and Britain.
Not a bad read, but I may have suffered as a reader given my inexperience with any of the characters. While I don't ordinarily object to a good writer skipping the exposition and driving forward with the story, I felt somewhat confused throughout.Characters backstories were all assumed to be known. Powersets and abilities weren't really explained until after the action had already begun. And while the dialogue was smart and breezy, I was somewhat at a disadvantage because of how little exposure
Interesting read, blending superheroes with myths
I would have liked this better if it hadn't felt like I was dumped right in the middle of things. Of course not being a heavy Marvel reader had a lot to do with that. Secret Invasion is only something I've touched on in my few Marvel trades.I do like Captain Britain, however, and enjoyed the very British feel of the story.
continuing the great x-read of 2017/18...Another volume tied into the seemingly awful (could be amazing considering I haven't read any of the main books...) Secret Invasion storyline.As part of X-continuity, this one is... odd. Pete Wisdom acts quite out of character and Cptn Britain seems really different as well.The story itself is pretty forgettable. Fairly boring start to the series so far.
Now this is more like it. It fits within the Secret Invasion storyline but also works as a stand-alone story.I can’t say I am overly familiar with Captain Britain, which you would think is odd as I am British but it never really made it back home. It may have something to do with the dialogue which comes across as bad as the phony British accents in American movies and TV shows. The writer has just thrown ‘mate’ in wherever to make is sound British, but they tend to appear in the wrong place in
Would've been nice to get some introductions and some backstory on the characters considering it starts with a "#1" issue.
Not read much of Captain Britain over the years, but I enjoyed this one.
One of my favorite comic series. The characters are interesting. Not your typical superheroes.
I am sure I could have finished it, but, I want to read books that I actually enjoy so DNF
I like these creators and I like this general idea, but I'm not as fond of these issues as I'd like to be. The pace is somewhat frenetic, and I don't feel like we get a chance to really know any of these characters.
It was an OK part, getting to know the characters was nice, so was the art
A very entertaining and well written series. It deals with skrulls, magic, mutants, and Otherworld. I think they are starting to use Avalon and Otherworld interchangeably. One thing I don’t get is why Albion was not here. He took the helm of Otherworld at Saturnyne’s request, but was nowhere to be found in the skrull takeover? Still, very interesting story.
"The Skrull Invasion isn’t restricted to the US. When the Skrull Invasion hits England, only Captain Britain and MI: 13 stand in their way. Can they find out what the Skrulls are after before it’s too late?" The art reminded me of Hell Boy, I dont know why, I think it was more of the fell, the pixies and mythical beings, it was good 3 🌟 I liked this, Skrulls going after the magic in the planet, nice one. Also, has anyone noticed the Skrulls wardrobe, they seem to have an outfit to fit any gen
Not amazing or anything, but much more enjoyable than expected, largely thanks to rookie of the year Faiza Hussain.
EhIt's hard to start a series in the middle of an event and this proved that. You have to be familiar with Secret Invasion to get the gist of it. It did not entice me to read anymore CB&M13. Love the Black Knight redesign, though.
Enjoyed the story and artwork... Did find it slightly confusing in places, my fault for not reading any of the previous books, except the Alan Moore run which has great
