Absolutely sublime. This series just gets better and better. I have had only a passing interest in comics the last few years, just too many of my favourites had been ruined, but this series has brought me back. Cap was always a character I held dear but was never treated with any respect. In this issue, an issue he isnt in, he was given more of a hero’s fanfare than ever. I’ve loved Wisdom since Warren Ellis first introduced him back in Excalibur and felt that only Paul Cornell has given him anywhere near the credit he deserves. I recently read the Wisdom trade in preperation for this title and it was amazing. Mr Cornell was instrumental in re-inventing my favourite TV icon with Doctor Who and now hes doing the same for my beloved Marvel UK stars. Fantastic.

Dom, I advise you to read the Wisdom series with all haste (unfortunately the Warren Ellis stuff hasnt been reprinted) and Seb you are spot on with the Lennon comment.

Heres to the MI-13/Doctor Who crossover!

Well, Cornell wrote the Wisdom mini as well ;-) But YES, read it, because it’s EXCELLENT. Cap is pretty much a continuation of that series, which is structured quite brilliantly like a TV series – so there’s an underlying arc, but the first four issues are all fairly standalone stories before a two-part finale. Well worth a read.

Although Leonard Kirk draws by far the most John Lennon-ish Skrull John out of all of them so far ;-)

OK – picked up issues 1 + 2 after you fellas gave the book such glowing reviews and WOW! This is a spanking good Marvel comic. How awesome is Skrull John? I might have to go and pick up the old Warren Ellis Wisdom mini to read more about him.
