In the second one I read "singer" as "ginger" and was having the hardest time figuring out how that made sense.

There were three volumes of MI:13: Secret Invasion; Hell Comes To Birmingham; and Vampire State. I imagine the Dracula story must be in the last one, but I think both the second and third had vampires in them (I know Blade is in the second one). Here's the Amazon UK link fwiw.

Here's the first trade https://www.amazon.com/Captain-Britain-MI13-Vol-Invasion/dp/0785133445 Volume 2 has the start of the Vampire stuff and Volume 3 is the last trade and has the most of what was posted here.

Thanks! More to add to my wishlist. I'm assuming all 3 trades are worth getting? I can't see starting from 2 or just getting 3 of a 3 part set.

The first one is team-building against the backdrop of a Secret Invasion tie-in but it's not bad. The first arc prompted a bit of amusement in the British press because Gordon Brown appears in it (because Paul Cornell quite liked Gordon Brown and felt people were too hard on him).

They're all supposed to be dead characters but the only one I recognize is Bucky. Can anyone identify everyone? They would have been dead circa 1997, if that helps. I'm assuming they're legit characters and not just invented for the issue, but I suppose that could be the case.

e: ^^^ Now that's just cheating! A Strange Aeon posted:
Everyone? No. I've got a few, though, which suggests the rest are even too obscure for me but likely real characters. The guy in yellow to the left of Bucky is The Whizzer, a WW2 era super-speedseter. Two up from Bucky is the Porcupine, who was a foe of, then ally to Captain America as I recall. One up and one to the right of Bucky is Egghead a mad science type, and to his right Turner D. Century a dude trying to return the world to the halcyon days of 1900. That's all I got, though I suspect someone else willing to do some research could puzzle out the rest. jng2058 fucked around with this message at 06:18 on Jan 15, 2018 |

Going vaguely left-to-right, top-to-bottom: Bird-Man, Red Raven Basalisk (green skin), Brutacus (guy with horns), Porcupine (duh), Cyclone (guy in blue), Vakume (purple) Mirage (dude in yellow, terrible headgear), Reptilia (lady with snake arms), Hydron (fishy type person in the back), Egghead (baldy), Turner D. Century (zoot suit), Thornn (yellow dude with thorns) Kangaroo, Whizzer (yellow suit with a W), Bucky, Cheetah (sweet stache), the Ringer (he throws rings!) Brutacus, Hydron, Reptilia, Thornn, and Vakume were all part of a supervillain group called Salem's Seven, along with Gazelle and Vertigo who I guess had better things to do than be resurrected. All of them are grandchildren of Agatha Harkness and children of Nicholas Scratch. Comics are weird. Gummy Joe fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Jan 15, 2018 |

If memory serves, a lot of the villains were recently (as of the issue of Deadpool) killed by Scourge during an anti-villain murder parade that Mark Gruenwald wrote in an arc of Captain America. I wonder who gave permission to allow all those characters to be one-shotted, though.

Binary Badger posted:If memory serves, a lot of the villains were recently (as of the issue of Deadpool) killed by Scourge during an anti-villain murder parade that Mark Gruenwald wrote in an arc of Captain America. Gruenwald basically pitched it as a way to clean up the trash that was sitting around and force writers to come up with new and better villains. Most of what he killed off were losers who barely appeared anymore or really really old villains that were collecting dust. The big one he wanted to off was Kraven the Hunter, but the Spider-office nixed it in favor of the "Kraven's Last Hunt" story. Looking back at the list, there wasn't anyone of note on there. Although I always liked the Melter 😔 If I remember correctly, he later said he regretted doing it because any crappy character could be redeemed in the right circumstances.

If Rogue can get ahold of her to throw her off a mountain, and she truly just wants to kill Dazzler, couldn't she just take her gloves off and siphon her to death in a couple seconds? That dialogue is hilariously lovely though. Truly, no better way to deliver exposition.
