With today's announcement of the
Betsy Braddock Captain Britain series, and recently devouring the Captain Britain Omnibus over the past 3 weeks, I wanted to honor and explore the history of the Braddock family over the coming months leading up to the new book. It's not too often that the family is featured together as part of the main cast in one title, at least not for a long time until recently.
We'll also revisit the breakdown of Krakoan/British relations as that will be the central theme to BBCB per today's announcement, and I'll highlight deep cuts like the relationships between the Braddocks and the S.T.R.I.K.E. Psi-Division, as I'm confident they'll be reappearing after their recent resurrections. Will there be scans? Oh you better believe it!
Betsy Braddock is Captain Britain and, along with Rachel Summers (Askani) and the Corps, protectors of Otherworld and the multiverse. Brian Braddock, Captain Avalon, is head Knight of Arthur’s Kingdom of Avalon, one of the 8 regions of Otherworld. He is joined by his wife, Meggan "Gloriana" Braddock, and their daughter Maggie. The twins were reunited with their recently resurrected older brother, Jamie Braddock, former king of Avalon and Omega-level mutant.
We'll also include Askani and her character's recent developments, as well as her history with original Excalibur teammates Brian and Meggan. And we'll throw in the Captain Betsy Corps along the way for fun. It's one big happy family!
