Definitely better than the first volume - the characters start acting a bit more Captain Britain and MI13: Hell Comes to Birmingham they have historically - and the plot moves along at a decent pace while still having time to start delving into the characters. Aug 22, Tim B rated it really liked it Shelves: captain-britain-and-related. The series continues to be well written with great plot lines. This collection is not stand alone, it is the bridge from part 1 to part 3. We see glimpses of Meggan. More is learned Captain Britain and MI13: Hell Comes to Birmingham Spitfire, and somehow, Union Jack kind of disappears. Alistair becomes very important.

That said, it's still missing something Sep 07, Orrin Grey rated it really liked it Shelves: comics. I'd been told that Captain Britain and MI13 was something that I ought to read, and it sounded up my alley, so I picked up an issue in a comic store and opened to a page where Dracula was having a meeting with Dr. Doom on the moon. And I realized that that panel was what I had been waiting for my whole life. So I picked up the series. Of course, I got the second volume before I got the first one and that scene doesn't look like it'll be showing up 'til the thirdbut still This is more or le I'd been told that Captain Britain and MI13 was something that I ought to read, and it sounded up my alley, so I picked up an issue in a comic store and opened to a page where Dracula was having a meeting with Dr. This is more or less exactly what I would write if Marvel would give me access to a handful of their C-list characters, and I was especially happy to see Pete Wisdom in the ranks. Also Blade is as good in this as I've ever seen him, and there are lots of neat ideas being tossed around. This is pretty much exactly what I want from mainstream superhero comics, right here. The aforementioned Paul Cornell also wrote some episodes of Dr. Who and a host of other TV shows, or so I'm told, and that makes sense, as Captain Britain and MI13 reads, more than anything, like a comic book version of an ensemble TV show. In a good way. The continuity is pretty heavy especially starting the second Captain Britain and MI13: Hell Comes to Birmingham rather than the first, but what're you going to do but nothing ever gets as murky as some other comics I've read recently. And the art, while nothing that made me jump out of my seat, is solid and gets the job done nicely Captain Britain and MI13: Hell Comes to Birmingham. Mar 21, Erik rated it liked it. Volume two picks up right where volume one left off, with Britain's small but mighty superhero team heading to Birmingham to meet up Captain Britain and MI13: Hell Comes to Birmingham Captain Midlands -- a regional defender who I honestly have never heard of before and he may be a new character for all I know -- in order to confront a new threat to its inhabitants, the nefarious Dr. Plotka and the Mindless One. If it ain't the Skrulls hell-bent on taking Avalon and its magic by force, it's another would-be usurper who wishes to subdue the Volume two picks up right where volume one left off, with Britain's small but mighty superhero team heading to Birmingham to meet up with Captain Midlands Captain Britain and MI13: Hell Comes to Birmingham a regional defender who I honestly have never heard of before and he may be a new character for all I know -- in order to confront a new threat to its inhabitants, the nefarious Dr. If it ain't the Skrulls hell-bent on taking Avalon and its magic by force, it's another would-be usurper who wishes to subdue the British masses into a lethargic reverie. Although I'm finally getting used to Kirk's art, I can't help but think it would be better if he had better inkers -- as I'm sure his pencils are out of this world, as it is often the case with semi-decent finished comic book art. But what ends up on the printed page looks like DC house art -- and that's no compliment. Now the covers, on the other hand, are fun to behold; as Stuart Immonen and Bryan Hitch are given cover duties on two of them. Feb 09, Mike rated it liked it. Easily the weakest collection in the short-lived series, but still fun. The storyline deals with an apartment block in England coming under the influence of a demon who grants people the ability to live out their fantasies and MI is required to solve the problem. There are some nice ideas introduced, and the development of Captain Midlands who was easily my least favorite character is nicely handled. It's not bad, but the story felt like it could have been told in about half as much time. T Easily the weakest collection in the short-lived series, but still fun. That said, some of the elements that are set up here come into play later on with pretty spectacular payoffs. I'd recommend reading this once just so you can keep track of everything in the series, but you probably won't feel much of a need to re-read it after that. Oct 10, Khairul Hezry rated it it was Captain Britain and MI13: Hell Comes to Birmingham Shelves: graphic-novels. Didn't like this volume as much as the first one but still good overall. The memorable part is of course the Captain Britain and MI13: Hell Comes to Birmingham page: Dracula is on the moon, planning to invade Earth and he wants to forge an alliance with Dr. This kind of crazy-awesomeness is why I still bother to read superhero Captain Britain and MI13: Hell Comes to Birmingham. Jan 11, Rachael rated it really liked it Shelves:comics. More Paul Cornell I was on a roll. The plot behind this one was a little twistier, so I didn't pay much attention. Love the inclusion of Blade, really love getting extra insight into each character. Ready to jump right in to the next book! Aug 08, Tamara rated it liked it. Much easier to get into than the first trade. Makes me want to pick up the Excalibur series I totally skipped to find out what the heck happened to Meggan. Apr 15, K. Had thought these were priced out of my range. But found brand new copies cheap on Book Depository! Just started reading grapic novels again and this was the second volume of the series I have read. Captain Britain and MI13: Hell Comes to Birmingham better than the first and one of the best team books I have read in a very long time. Aug 17, Wendy rated it liked it Shelves: comics. I'm coming in in the middle of the story arc, not having read volume 1. At the moment, I'd say that I'm intrigued, but not completely hooked. May well change my mind when I've read vol. Sep 27, Shannon Appelcline rated it it was amazing Shelves: comicscomics-marvelcomics-marvel- xmen. An excellent continuation. Cornell really delves into who our charactesr are and what they want.
