Synopsis: EARTH’S MOST FURIOUS HEROES UNITE! And the villains alike! Morgan Le Fay has saddled up with her old lover, none other than Doctor Doom! And that can’t mean good things for the old country. But Betsy Braddock has a plan up her sleeve…and a Multiverse of allies even Morgan can’t magic-wand away. The fight for Britain, for Betsy, for Captains everywhere comes to a head!
The Story
Betsy and the Captain Britain Corps team up with S.T.R.I.K.E on a mission to save the country from war. But in order to defeat Morgan Le Fay and stop Doctor Doom. The team led by Betsy will need the help of Faiza Hussain and her unique connection to the spirit of the Excalibur Sword. But first, they need to get through Morgan’s small army of guards, which will take a proper team effort in which everyone has a role.
The Artwork
Vasco Georgiev does some fantastic work on this issue. I really liked all the panels in which we see Wisdom and the various S.T.R.I.K.E. agents sneaking into Morgan Le Fay’s castle. The way in which the artist visually builds the action from panel to panel is really cool. I also loved the visual at the end of the book when Betsy’s plan comes to fruition as we see some real Earth magic brought into play and how that was depicted in the visual sense.
Overall
This is a satisfying conclusion to the story arc, but it looks like it could well likely lead into a future arc as I don’t think Betsy’s solution is as elegant as she thinks it might be. I loved how S.T.R.I.K.E. was used in this issue. But for me, the best inclusion was seeing Faiza Hussain get a good role as she is a character that Paul Cornell introduced to the Marvel Universe via his run on Captain Britain and is a character that I don’t think we’ve seen enough of.
