Captain Britain & Captain America Corps

[Captain Britain of Earth 20]

I've read about the Captain Britain Corp thanks to Alan Moore and I heard there was a Captain America Corp recently any chance to see both teams in action again?

Would be cool if there was a new Captain America Corps with all the more recently introduced alternate reality/future Caps.

Happy New Year to Captain Britain and the Corps. .

I do wish they'd put Brian back in the costume though.

Yeah, me too.

I generally just liked the CB corps as it was originally shown: a group of individuals who all worked for Merlin on their individual Earths and only met up for his funeral.

That was a great story.

Read CA by Roger Stern; didn't read that CB story (comic and issues please thanks), what if the two Corps came together?

That's the last episode of the Alan Moore run on Captain Britain, known collectively as The Jasper's Warp.

Thanks to Saturnyne in X of Swards, the Captain Britain Corps are back, but instead of being alternate Brian, its comprised mostly of alternate Betsy(s).Captain-Britain-Corps-is-Reborn-in-Marvel-Comics.jpg


Saturnyne wanted the "proper" corps back so Brian would become CB again, but it backfired on her.

Speaking of Brian, because he now has the Sword of Might, he's Captain Avalon and is King James right hand, not because he likes his mad brother, but as the protector of Avalon. Brian, Meggan (Gloriana) and their daughter, Meggie now live in Otherworld.

I don't mind the changes Hickman and Howard has made to Otherworld, but it's so different than how Moore, Davis and later Claremont's iterations. I understand it's because of the multiverse being reset after Secret Wars, but its so different. Saturnyne was never as powerful as she is now, and Marlyn and Roma roles have been diminished to regional lords, with no seeming connection with guardianship of the multiverse.

That's a lot of purple...

I would like to see an ongoing Captain America Corps series along with a Captain Britain series hell, I would settle for a crossover with the two Captains

The Captain America Corps mini by Stern is great, especially since it dealt with alternate time-lines, but it predates Sam Wilson's time as Captain America. Other versions have since popped up (or will pop up in a mini I hear about). Honestly, unlike the Captain Britain Corps, which is like an army where Brian is simply a distinguished soldier (or he was, before they decided that Betsy was more deserving), IMHO, a Captain America Corps just dillutes what Steve really is. I like heroes that inspire others to be heroes, but they should carve their own identities and legacies. There should be a limit to how much you can pay hommage to a person.

Peace
