\"Captain<\/a><\/dt>\n
Captain Britain and MI13<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

By Paul Cornell, Leonard Kirk, Jesse Delperdang & Scott Hanna (Marvel\/Panini UK)
\nISBN: 978-1-84653-407-2<\/strong><\/div>\n

Collecting issues #1-4 of the surprise hit comic, this rousing romp sees mutant super-spy Peter Wisdom helm a new team of British superheroes as part of a big company crossover from Marvel. Secret Invasion<\/strong> described the all-out attack of the insidious shape-changing Skrulls, whose long-term plan to infiltrate all strata of Earth society nearly resulted in the total subjugation of mankind.<\/p>\n

The British front saw the aliens attack our Sceptr’d Isles in an attempt to control all Earth’s inherent magic, only to be held at bay by the Dunkirk spirit of Wisdom, Black Knight, Spitfire, John the renegade Skrull, newcomer (and female Muslim hero) Faiza Hussain and a revamped Captain Britain.<\/p>\n

I could further outline the plot for you but as this is a lovely example of beguiling, back-to-the-wall, last stand super-heroics with the added advantage of being easily assimilated by even the most uninformed new reader, I’ll simply state that this is a grand adventure of evil aliens, valiant heroes, the Bulldog Breed and spectacular action on a fresh yet ancient magical canvas, which almost any devotee of graphic literature will adore.<\/p>\n

Make it your personal quest to possess this gem\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n
