Captain Britain and MI-13 is one of a handful of books that keep me buying monthly comics. In just a few issues, it's already established itself as one of Marvel's best current superhero titles, and probably the book that's truest to the Marvel spirit of colourful yet flawed heroes fighting fantastical villains in a realistic and imperfect modern world. Newcomers to the book's universe are well-served by succinct, elegant exposition and effective, immediate characterisation - especially impressive considering the size of the cast - and readers of Cornell's previous work with MI-13 in the pages of Wisdom will be pleased to see the concept find such a good home (and they'll be particularly overjoyed to see a certain Captain Midlands make a cameo appearance in these very pages). I simply can't imagine anyone not enjoying this series - and I can't wait to see what Cornell has planned for my home town of Birmingham over the course of the next few issues. Read Full Review

Now that we're one issue into the second arc, I think I can safely recommend this title to anyone looking to add something new to their pull list. Read Full Review
