Captain Britain and MI:13: Vampire State

(please log in to view the image)

if you haven't picked up MI13 before, this would be a great point to join in, it's a great series.

Dracula and Dr. Doom on the moon in itself is pretty interesting:

I was kinda worried about how they would draw Dracula using his vintage look. I have to admitt, he looks f*cking scary as hell!

I really wanted to collect this in trade format, but if its going down the pan i might have to buy the singles. A bit annoyed that they've basically retconned everything Moore developed. I think Captain Britain as a sci-fi heroe fighting the mystical forces of evil, just makes the whole thing that little bit cooler. The greatest threat to the omniverse being the chaos of magic, which is basically irrationality made physical.

...captain britain is a sci-fi hero...all theyve been fighting is mystical foes (save for the skruls...and they unleashed hell's demon on britain to defeat them)

The problem with writing a book Alan Moore did work on is you really can't follow what he did. You kind of have to do your own thing, or your run will just remembered as the "vaguely, kinda crappy Alan Moore-esque" part of the series, rather than something that could be awesome- like Cornell's run is.

Example: check out Swamp Thing. Everyone who tried to ape Alan Moore just wasted their time. Writer's who did their own thing (Mark Millar, for instance) turned in pretty cool pieces.

PLUS DRACULA ON THE MOON.

Just picked up the secret invasion arc for this in trade.....Contrary to rumours this series isn't being cancelled. One of the best trades I've bought in months yes

I never thought I'd find anything patriotic about this country remotely interesting in literature but this series rocks.

Cap's new costume is amazing. I'm buying this arc in trade as soon as I can yes

EDIT: Cornell's run is Cap Britain returning to his magic roots to fight off both technological and magical threats.

Hands down the best team book on the market.

Shang-Chi showed up in something Cornell recently... what was it?

Was it the Wisdom mini? Why on earth can I not remember this?

I have a feeling MI:13 is going to get ambushed in this issue big time. I thought I saw a scan of Blade and Spitfire having a little chat also somewhere.
