The Union is the best team comic Marvel is putting out.

Britannia spoilers:

is killed in issue 1. Maybe that was a mandate, that she couldn't survive the series? She's basically Wonder Woman without the lasso after all.

end of spoilers

I think that spoilers:

Britannia's death was something planned by the writer in the first place, even when the Union was originally planned as a Empire's tie-in.

There is Al Ewing's Guardian book you would like to check out.

Al Ewings GOTG is absolute trash and the art is very ordinary, the title is getting a slight reboot with issue# 13 festuring new characters etc but it is very ordinary to say the least.

[PhoenixThanos]

The artwork in this book is great as is the writing

What makes this comic work is that it's just a good comic. It's a part of a continuing story but each issue stands on its own. Remember that? It's not decompressed. It follows the rule of "show don't tell" so it doesn't pull you out of the story to waste pages (hello X-Books!) on boring info dumps. It's not making characters you like job to the new guys to prove how awesome they are. It's creating NEW VILLAINS. I repeat, it's creating new villains and they are actually interesting. Read. This. Book.

Makes a nice change to have a book written from a British perspective too. Even other British writers like Al Ewing don't do that.

Late to the party, Sunday Mirror? This article really should've appeared before issue 1, not after issue 4.

I really enjoy Paul Grist's comics, but have little interest these days in most Marvels, let alone "events" like King in Black, so passed on this. Will look into it, although I am also tired of short-run series. But I DO really enjoy Paul Grist's comics--!

[Husk]

The Union is interesting but I think after four issues they could be developed more. There's one more issue and we know next to nothing about any of these new characters other than Britannia and the Choir, and even that's marginal.

Although, I do enjoy Doc Croc's team (even if he's not so interesting) and I was kinda hoping the Keep Guard would actually multiply.

Also, given that he was the one missing from the 30 year flashback, does anyone else think Darwin is a grown up Sponge?

[Sutekh]

So that's done, and it was a fun arc.

I'm left curious about all sorts of stuff, like Snakes true nature (and what his funky speech bubbles are supposed to represent, we can assume he 'sounds different', but how do others hear his voice?), and now the nature of Lady Shimmering Lights, who seems, at a guess, to actually *be* those shimmery lights (perhaps a will o wisp type entity?) animating a department store mannequin of a woman.

There's plenty of stuff to mine for a later series with these characters, if there's ever an audience for it, and the artist is amazing, so hopefully she finds regular work somewhere else!

[Johnrevenge]

It was a good miniseries and I enjoyed it. Hope to see more of these characters in the future.

spoilers:

So Britannia's soul hid inside Union Jack... I wonder if she'll be able to reform her body? Everyone else outside the team still thinks she's dead.

I want to believe that Craig the Yorkie is still alive and will move in with the team when they get back together. I feel like this title needed one more issue to properly wrap things up.

[Rang10]

I really think this books is crap.

*see a cute corgi that can talk*

10/10 great book, want ore.


Now im serious, I realy want to see more of them and maybe get britannia back to life. Andrea di vito art is good, want to see more of him on marvel

[Nomads1]

Finally got to read this in trade. A good read. Some of the best I've read from Marvel in quite a while. Andrea diVito's art, of course, is as top-notch and as exciting as always. I just think that they could have used a bit more of established British characters in the mix. I'd be up to seeing more.

Peace

I read the trade a few weeks back. Thought it was decent, middling would be how I'd describe it. I don't think Brittania is really dead(99% of characters rarely are). I think if they had gotten another more immediate mini or an ongoing we would've seen her return. It feels the set up is already there.
I rarely see my name used for any comic character but here it is for a dog! haha
