This would have been my last month for CB and Mi13. It wasn’t about not
enjoying Cornell and Kirk’s run, because I was. This had all the
pleasure of my favorite shows on BBC America with some of the most
gorgeous pencils I’ve seen. No, perhaps it was just me getting nervous
about my current monetary situation and probably it had something to do
with the Holiday madness delaying shipment from Heavy Ink for three
weeks. Whatever the case, I was cutting my pull list down and really
scoured it down to essentials only. Captain Britain And Mi 13 was not
being considered essential.

My reasoning being Captain Britain and co. have been enjoying riotous
sales as I understand it, so why pay the extra penny for my impatience,
and the anti-drug and car ads (I’m already giving, however unwillingly,
enough to Detroit. They can leave my comics alone.)? I can wait and
pick it up on the flip side, right?

Absolutely wrong. This issue saved the whole bloody series for at least
the foreseeable future. Good grief, this last run was fantastic – I
relished every page and was in awe of Cornell’s writing and Kirk’s art.
Every moment perfectly balanced between prose and picture; this Captain
Britain will go down as one of The Best non-event/Superstar books of
the new Millinium. Maybe this will read better in trade, but I don’t
care; it’s too good not to pick up now.
