Need A British Super-Hero?

Well, it seems that Captain Britain has been revived once again, and this time the lifesavers are doing a pretty good job!

Hurry. Its about time we got a super hero with a british accent!

Paul Cornell is doing the writing and is having to deal with a lot of mediocre writing that preceded him after Alan Moore (who did a great job) stop writing.

This blogger says:

People have tried and failed with Captain Britain many times in the past, but the brilliance of the Moore and Davis stories remains almost an impossible comparison to overcome. After seeing the character written so originally it’s a huge letdown to have him feature over the years in so many standard and dull comics. And it doesn’t help that Captain Britain the character, the superhero, isn’t particularly original either. He’s another muscleman, another prissy boy scout doing his bit for what he believes in. And to be frank, most of the writers trying to use him since Moore have written him in just this way, making him truly dull. (And I say this as a big fan.)

The art is by Leonard Kirk (he used to do superwoman), and all in all it definitely seems worth a read!
