A legendary hero flies the flag for the United Kingdom as we celebrate the legacy of the House of Ideas with the era-spanning MARVEL TALES! In Chris Claremont and Herb Trimpe’s incredible CAPTAIN BRITAIN (1976) #1-2, Brian Braddock must choose between the Sword of Might and the Amulet of Right. Only one will transform him into Captain Britain, champion of Albion! Then, Brian takes a trip across the pond and ends up in Spider-Man’s neighborhood — but their first meeting turns downright murderous, courtesy of Arcade, in MARVEL TEAM-UP (1972) #65-66 — by the fan-favorite team of Claremont and John Byrne! Then, the sword is drawn in EXCALIBUR (1988) #1 as Claremont joins artist Alan Davis to team Captain Britain and his girlfriend Meggan with a trio of ex-X-Men — Nightcrawler, Shadowcat and Phoenix — to form the UK’s most offbeat super team! Collecting CAPTAIN BRITAIN (1976) #1-2, MARVEL TEAM-UP (1972) #65-66 and EXCALIBUR (1988) #1.

[Digifiend]

Yeah, Brian will be involved in X of Swords. Too bad it'll likely be months late now, unless they go digital first. Diamond has stopped taking new comics due to Coronavirus and Boris Johnson just closed all the UK shops.

[Digifiend]

Bad news about Panini's Marvel Collectors Editions. They're slimmer now. 52 pages instead of 76 or 100. Mighty World of Marvel's replacement has also launched - and surprisingly, it's Batman, Panini got the DC rights back.

Well, I hope it is more that. Long overdue for another series.

[Shadowcat]

Two UK team books

What a time to be alive

I hope we get more international sponsored team minis like this, Agents of Atlas minis, the Squadron Supreme of America’s mini. Also, I’d looooooovvvveeeee to see a mini/ongoing for Alpha Flight, and Winter Guard. So much potential there.
