Britain Prevails! Marvel UK lives here...

To me, Geoff Senior's original design is one of the most perfect character designs ever. Trying to top it is futile, and every artist has failed to replicate Senior's genius.

Because Age of Ultron's Faiza was Cap: http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Faiza_H..._(Earth-61112) The same version of Faiza was the title character of Captain Britain and the Mighty Defenders, a Secret Wars tie-in. Both were written by... guess who? Yes, Al Ewing.

He should have turn her into 616 CB too, and added her to the Ultimates. The controversy would have at least improved the sales for 1 or 2 issues. Then he could have smoothed thngs by making Brian leader of the CB corps instead of being 616 CB.

Brian IS the Captain Britain Corps now. Spider UK is the only other known survivor!

You'll have to forgive me, why is both being written by Al Ewing notable? I'm new here. :/

That COULD be true, but that may have changed as part of the Multiversal Rebirth. Remember Cap and Tony were duking it out when a Helicarrier was dropped on them, but still survived into the new 616.

I love this idea. If this was combined with Digifiend's post, I think that could work, as long as it was established that this Brian, Head of the Captain Britain Corps, was our 616 Brian, sister to the Psylocke, in Astonishing X-Men I think. Then the Braddock Academy could be relocated to.... wherever the headquarters are, is it Otherworld?

Because Al is also the writer of U.S.Avengers. Ultimates, Royals, and Rocket are his too, but U.S.Avengers is the one relevant to this discussion.

Yeah, but that doesn't explain anything about Faiza being Captain Britain kind-of-sometimes. I wasn't asking who he was, just why his name is significant to Faiza being Captain Britain in Age of Ultron and Captain Britain and the Mighty Defenders.

He's a big fan of the idea of Faiza becoming Captain Britain, that's all.

Okay, I follow you now, thanks for letting me know. I wonder why he's so keen on the change... Ewing writes a number of comics I really enjoy.

That's the one yes, thanks, I'm a bit out of the loop it seems, who are the two people to the right of CB, they both look like Faiza in and out of costume??

[Captain Wessex]

the people on the right of Squirrel Girl are Captain Britain, Guillotine (French character created for Contest of Champions, the mobile game), Ares, Faiza and Outlaw, the British Punisher. Flying above them is Iron Patriot, aka Toni Ho, Yinsen's daughter.

I've been enjoying the Night Raven: From the Marvel UK Vaults book, but why on earth didn't they include the two graphic novels?? It seems ridiculous that they've brought this book out and not made it something completists would go for. While I'm moaning, it should have been hardcover.
