    as long as Zemo comes back and takes his proper place as leader of the Thunderbolts, i'm happy
    Doesn't look like he's going to. Looks like Luke Cage is leading the team...
    I thougt the Tunderbolts was a team for reformed villains/criminals. Did that change?

    Hawkeye did lead them for a time.

    It's now a supervillain rehabilitation program.

    Like an actual legit one.

    Well, that makes things a little more interesting.

    Edit: ...and also disappointing. There goes the hope for a new Heroes for Hire series.

    With the addition of Man-Thing, it seems more like a Mental Rehabilitation Center.

    "Hey everyone, great job today! Group hug on Man-Thing!"
    "Fllghbtn! Huuaghlllllllll!"*
    "Aiieeeeee! Oh God, the flames, they burn so bad!"

    *"No, new friends! Noooo! We were supposed to go to the park!"

    I like the idea of Cage, a former inmate and respected hero, helping a bunch of supervillains to reform. But we all know Crossbones is totally going to be the contrarian prick that keeps fucking things up, right?

    All the hypnosis guys are pretty much all douche bags to the letter. But Purple Man is pretty much the definition of it. And considering the list includes Mesmiro, Mentallo, and Mastermind thats pretty impressive.

    Uh oh? Did Bullseye hit the gas tank?

    Isn't Asgard only a few feet above the ground? And wasn't it already on the ground before Thor lifted it up a few feet?

    I think it's about 12 feet above ground. And yes it was on the ground before but Thor had to lift it up due to property issues. It's still in US airspace though.

    You can't own the sky man!

    So do Asgardians age fast or something because it seems after Doom and this they have to be on the lacking side in terms of numbers.

    That's a great cover. This is mentioned as a 4 issue anthology but it should really be an ongoing anthology, you have 4 stories an issue, 2 by big names, the others by new talent (and NOT Cebulski, McCann, etc.). Give the big names new art talent, the new names some big name artists. It's all very zen and would be super-hella successful.

    Anthology books never really do well, though.

    And that's Captain Britain.

    As long as it can break even, I would keep it going. Because you need to get new talent out there for people to see, and giving them a chance to do a 10 page story with bigger name characters would help out.

    I would make this the only anthology type book though. No X-Universe or Wolverine one shots, make them be one story in the anthology.

    I think it makes more sense to put the backups in ongoings, exposing new talent to a wider audience than what they'd find in a book that's only breaking even.

    I would have no problem if they did that, but Marvel doesn't seem to know what they are doing with backups in relation to price increases and bonus content right now.

    I would even encourage the growth of an anthology by lowering the price a buck, $3 for 48 pages a month on pulp paper. It would be an investment in the future. Children are the future. Why do you hate children?

    "Oh that's nice...
    *gasp* Captain Britain!
    *gasp* Pete Wisdom!
    *gasp* Black Knight!

    Gonna buy that, 4 sho'

    Captain Britain dies during Britain's Skrull invasion but Merlin resurrects him. He says something like, he has no fear or doubt and is stronger because of it, and then something sappy about the Union Jack. Basically, if Captain Britain has the desire and confidence to do something, he can't be stopped from doing it. His weakness is his confidence, lose that and he loses his power.

    That makes him amazingly powerful then. Like, he's the same tier as the Hulk and that.

    Awesome! I'm definately getting the three Captain Britain and MI13 TPBs on my next Amazon spree.
