Paul Cornell Speaks

And I listen. I am absolutely loving CAPTAIN BRITAIN AND MI:13, and CBR has an interview with the series' writer, Paul Cornell.

If you haven't been reading this new series, it's not too late to join in. It really is an ensemble book, with the Black Knight, Pete Wisdom, Spitfire and new character Fazia Hussain form the core of the developing team, with guest appearances so far by Union Jack, Blade, a bazillion Skrulls and whole bunch of otherworldly nasties.

Great mix of the supernatural, great British humour and strong characters already emerging. Fazia has the potential to be very interesting, although I'm not sure where Cornell is going in giving her Excalibur on top of her already very interesting powers. Dane Whitman is a favourite character of mine and it's great to see him being utilised here.

Check out the interview, and more importantly check out the comic!
