Plokta tempts Brian with his missing wife, Meggan. Brian is confident he can go through the door into the other dimension, save her, and still find a way home.
Their love is one of the anchors of this book. It is written with so much sincerity.

Issue 7 had a great cover.

This is Plokta's first appearance, which is surprising because he looks and feels so much like something Ditko would have created for old Dr. Strange comics.

Seriously. Chills. All of these moments are fantastic.
Also, Faiza Hussain, the woman standing up to the magic Skrull here, is a fantastic character and she should be in more comics.

Wisdom frees Merlin, who uses his magic to bring Captain Britain back, and it gives me chills.

This was launched as a tie-in to the big Secret Invasion event, so it starts with Skrulls invading the UK, and all the local superheroes fighting them. Intros are great. This is how the Black Knight looks in my head, and vampire-Spitfire is probably the best character in the book

So, now that Wisdom is out of the way (yesterday's thread - https://t.co/UE5GoBZyGv) it's time for my favourite comic of two-thousand-and-whatever-year-that-was...
Captain Britain and MI-13 by Paul Cornell and Leonard Kirk (and other contributors too).
A thread -

Giants and fairies and Captain Britain all show up to help beat the Martians and it's great.
Love the juxtaposition of "grown men weep at the sight of him" followed immediately by "You tosser!"

There's a lot of social commentary here that is still relevant 12+ years later, like how a misogynist white guy obsessed with the past is the baddie that lets the monsters in because they get in his head and tell him he's special.

The split-page storytelling technique is so uniquely "comics." You can try to do stuff like this in film, but it just doesn't work as well.
