The Moore stuff takes up a lot less of this than I expected - for all its subsequent pillaging (and for all that it’s obviously the best CB yet) I don’t think it really cracks the “what is a British superhero?” problem any more than the previous attempts.

IT’S ALAN MOORE!!!!

I admit to being quite intrigued (now I’ve finally read the Dave Thorpe bits) as to where on earth this was going before the hairy one got on board.

At some point this stopped being the fun kind of bad and became very much the bad kind of bad. You can tell it’s poor when you catch yourself thinking “oh thank god an interesting villain” about fkn Arcade.

I have finished the five episodes of Captain Britain trying and failing to fight a radio controlled bird and am now onto the notorious mind controlled Queen story. Notorious because it is AMAZING.
