Second Printing of Issue 3's cover

If you’ve been keeping up with the comic forums on FR in any degree, then you know I have a bright love for the book known as, Captain Britain and the MI13 (CB&MI13). Unfortunately, the series’ writer has confirmed that the book has been canceled via his blog. I find that to be very unfortunate, but I am pleased that Cornell was allowed to convey the story he wanted to tell. His run on the book is some of the best treatment Capt. Brit and several of his cast mates have gotten in years, and it’s depressing that Marvel would allow such a book to slip from their grasps while keeping something like Wolverine: Origins on the shelves.  The series had several things going for it and was launched off a very subpar crossover involving the skrulls. I can honestly say that the skrulls never felt like a threat in ANY main book or even most of the tie-ins, but in CB&MI13, they felt like a legitimate powerhouse that actually had some form of rational and a plan they set into action. The only other book that relayed this feeling to me is Jason Aaron’s Black Panther tie-in.
