But as an event book, it's started to falter just a little bit, which could just be growing pains.

Blade joined the team last issue and made his way with a stake right through Spitfire's heart. She lived, as she has 'beat' the vamp curse running through her veins, and Blade quickly runs from the team for them to catch him. So I'm not sure if he's on the team still or not, but I assume so. The team goes after him into a housing complex after Spitfire takes after him first.

Inside the housing complex Captain Britain has already jumped in to save Captain Midlands, who comes out being the absolute best thing about this book. Imagine Pete Wisdom or Warren Ellis or even Alan Moore with the Super-Soldier Serum running through their veins, and you've got Captain Midlands. He's trapped by an entity unseen, who is giving the residents of this complex their heart's desires. Britain has gone in to save Midlands, but might get lost in the mix.

Add in Blade and Spitfire going after each other, Black Knight and Faiza joining up to fight the bad things also, and you've got the right recipe for an action comic. When Plokta shows up with the Mindless Ones and offers them their heart's desires even further, you know something bad is on it's way.

Spitfire plunges her teeth into Blade's neck (or so it seems), the rest of the team is trapped, and Captain Britain has to make a choice. Does he save his team, or does he get his wife Meggan returned to him?

It's all a great character drama. It's just kinda choppy in parts where it's jumping from person to person and event to event. It needs to decide quickly what the main characters are up to and who we're going to follow, and then stop with them. That's the thing. Too much is going on right now. A lot of it is good, but it needs to settle into the whole idea of keeping hold of a main group of characters on the team.

Adding the whole super-hero brigade of Britain could be a great touch, but it might get TOO big. There might be too many people to follow around. And that will take away from the best part of this book.

Paul Cornell's snappy dialogue and Leonard Kirk's pitch perfect characterization. There is a lot of good in here, I just hope that the blossoming period doesn't kill all of that.
