Description

The final two entries have Chris Claremont (Captain Britain's creator) giving Captain Britain a role in exploring the X-juniors' 'teenage angst' in creditable stories whose main purpose seems to be transfer Braddock's sister to the New Mutants story line as Psylocke. Eventually it declines into an X-men 'riff' on intolerance as the logic of Moore's world is explored to its natural limits. Ok I'm lying—the omnibus actually ends with two Captain America issues guest starring Captain Britain and one of his old baddies, but these are on the whole pretty forgettable. Sure Alan Davis on the artwork makes every page a joy to experience, but that can only last for so long. It's obvious straight away that things are different, starting with the uniform which is immediately done-away with and replaced with the now iconic Union Jack costume with helmet.

Worthwhile, but if Marvel publishes a collection of just the Moore stuff, jump on that instead, unless you HAVE to have everything, like me.We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Alan Moore takes Captain Britain on a wild multi-versal ride, again combining the ideas of fate and destiny and further cementing Brain Braddock as a savior of the universe type. The 1985 Captain Britain series, by Jamie Delano and Alan Davis, came out just when I was getting into Marvel Comics.

Picking up the pieces of a confusing and meandering story arc, Alan Moore came in and gave the series a new sense of purpose and a very real sense of danger. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. Captain Britain is a character who probably never got his full due but this might be because of his internal contradictions. I had the old omnibus for years but it missed a lot of material; this one is far better and much more convenient.Story thread is great in later issues, but the whole thing suffers from all the monochrome reproduction in a large portion of the product. The three in-between tales by Davis and others are OK, bringing Captain Britain back down to Earth, but not exceptional [6/10].
