Britain Prevails! Marvel UK lives here...

Pretty excited for Harington Dane in Eternals. Makes a lot of sense he'd show up there when you think about it!

Very happy that Black Knight is going to be in the MCU!

Yay for Black Knight in the MCU, not a fan of the actor but maybe he'll pull it off.

It's Brian (you can tell because it's a male Captain Britain).

given the artistic tendencies of some to go.... 'androgynous', I figured I shouldn't make assumptions.. so I take it Brian is still alive. cool.

And what is the fate of Kelsey Leigh?

When last seen Kelsey was reunited with her children, so she is presumably at least semi-retired from superheroics at the moment.

My concern about Kit being cast as the Black Knight (apart from me finding him a bit lacking as an actor) is that they may have made Dane British to silence the calls for a male British MCU hero, whilst giving the Captain Britain identity to Betsy. I don't want Dane's fans to be screwed over by a predictable easy fix nationality change, any more than I want Brian being screwed out of his super-hero identity and rogues gallery in the MCU. It's a pessimistic take on the situation, but particularly where CB is concerned, it's who I am.

Yay for Black Knight. Can Captain Britain be far behind? (And if he isn't then it should definitely be Brian Braddock and not Betsy!)

[Shadowcat]

Starting a Captain Britain from the beginning read through. Should I post the reviews here?

[Panic]

Sure. How far back are you going?

The very beginning.

A quick question: is vol. 2 of the TPB’s called Siege of Camelot, or a Hero Reborn? I don’t want to buy the same trades over and over again.

I think the issue here is that there were trade paper backs that reprinted the CB stuff, but also they produced some hardbacks reprinting the same material, but the hardbacks had more pages so the volumes were not the same (though they have reused some of the titles from the trades). And that's about where my knowledge fizzles out. The only reprint book I have with pre-Davis material is the TPB called CAPTAIN BRITAIN: THE SIEGE OF CAMELOT VOLUME 4, and it collects the Black Knight strip from Hulk Comic Weekly #42-55,57-63 (that's starting midway though the Black Knight's British adventures through to the end of the strip), Marvel Super Heroes #377-389 and The Daredevils #1-11 (that's the start of the Alan Davis drawn adventures, starting with the Dave Thorpe written stories and moving on to the Alan Moore work (which does not conclude here, it's continues in the next volume). This volume is the one with both Captain Britain and the Black Knight fighting goblins on the cover, with the Fury, Davis Captain Britain, and Mad Jim Jaspers in the background.

The hardback version entitled CAPTAIN BRITAIN VOLUME 2: THE SIEGE OF CAMELOT (which has CB bursting though a wall of comic pages) supposedly collects SUPER SPIDER-MAN AND CAPTAIN BRITAIN #233-247; MARVEL TEAM-UP (1972) #65-66; and material from HULK COMIC #1 and #3-46, and INCREDIBLE HULK WEEKLY #47-55 and #57-63.

So that would be the end of the original CB run from the 70's, the team up with Spider-Man from Marvel US, and the entirety of the Black Knight strip.

Thanks so much for your help.

^Just to be clear, that's the information taken from an ebay listing, I don't have the hardback myself. I assume it's right, though.
