Love the Braddocks. The storyline is admittedly convoluted, but in general I like the direction. Excited to see what this means for Brian.

So...did the twins forget that Jamie was a slave trader? Did he mess with their memories or something? They literally never bring this up.
Human trafficker or slave trader? Both are awful but what story arc is this from? I know he's done some bad things and his siblings have told him that he's done horrible things. But I doubt what you want will ever be brought up.

Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”
Right, human trafficker. It was revealed all the way back in Davis' Captain Britain run. Brian wanted to kill him when he learned the truth and left him at the mercy of Doctor Crocodile. And then decades later he and Jamie are BFFs with no explanation and working together to trial Fantomex for killing a child. WTF?
I dunno, I probably wouldn't be on speaking terms with a brother who committed horrible crimes.human trafficker and he was tortured into madness for that, what else are they supposed to do?
Yeah I’m confused. When Excalibur started it felt like she didn’t want the mantle, then we didn’t get any insight into her feelings for 10 issues, and now she’s deeply attached to the role? Like many others have noted I feel like we went from A to Z without any of the steps in the middle.

I know, Brian certainly shouldn't even be speaking to him. I think somehow the American writers got confused and decided this was stuff he did when he was mad, rather than him being mad as a punishment for human trafficking and murder, and now he's sane everything is okay. Which it really isn't.
We've had multiple people telling her how she doesn't deserve the title and doubting her legitimacy while she constantly defends how she IS the current CB and wants that respect. She has an entire convo with Rogue wondering why Saturnyne wouldn't reveal herself as she's done to other CB's. Betsy might not have wanted it but she has it and has been doing the job protecting both Krakoa and Britain. For Brian to pop up and be yet another person who feels she can't hack it probably struck a cord.
I really don't think Jamie being a human trafficker is ever going to be addressed again.

Kraokoan era. Everyone is forgiven.
