I read Dark Angel back when she was Hell's Angel in the 90s. It showed up in my comic shop, and I bought a few issues, but I was young then, and wasn't able to keep up with it. Still, I have fond memories of the character, and have enjoyed several other British Marvel characters, though I have always wondered why they don't show up elsewhere more often. I didn't recognize a few of these characters, and only knew a few others from Marvel trading cards (yeah, I was that young), but the book did a

I loved the heroes involved in this story -- Captain Britain, Death's Head, Dark Angel, Union Jack, and Motormouth -- but I have absolutely no idea what the heck this story was about. I just have no idea.But the art was neat to look at.It could have used more Meggan. Since it had, you know... none.

Stało się. Prawdopodobnie najgorszy event Marvel NOW! za mną. (okazuje się, że wydawnictwo ma niektóre eventy tak samo słabe jak te od DC's New 52...). Za pierwszym razem porzuciłem tytuł gdzieś w połowie, więc przeczytałem TO od początku, aby przypomnieć sobie pewne wątki. Do dzisiaj pieką mnie oczy...Przepis na sukces? Wziąć sprawdzone postacie, jakie świętowały sukces w latach 90. XX wieku i dostosować je do aktualnych realiów. Jak się okazuje tak nie do końca, bowiem w złych proporcjach wyjd...

Un tentativo di rilancio dei personaggi Marvel made in UK non particolarmente riuscito.Ed è un peccato a mio parere, perché diversi di questi personaggi erano a sui tempo alquanto intriganti e le storie possibili sarebbero molte. Purtroppo il britannico Lanning non riesce nello scopo.

There are some wonderful moments, but overall this resurrection of the old Marvel UK characters is wildly uneven. Some details suggest it was all a bit last-minute (on the Motormouth issue, only the colourist credited on the cover was in fact represented in the contents), and sales were abysmal, but then among the problems with comics sales figures is that they are US only. Whereas this was aimed squarely at British men of a certain age for whom the mere appearance of Death's Head is cause for c...

I want to apologise to writers like Brian Bendis, Matt Fraction, Rick Remender, Jason Aaron and Jonathan Hickman whose event books I scoffed at for being piss-poor commercial crap - compared to Revolutionary War, your books look positively Shakespearean in quality! Revolutionary War reunites Marvel UK characters that were apparently popular in the early to mid ‘90s. Then again this was a period in time where Rob Liefeld was the most popular comics creator and garbage like Spawn and Savage Dragon...

I came across this book among the shelves of my local comic book store and remembering the Captain Briton comics of my youth - at one time I owned the first issue - I decided to buy it and catch up on the adventures of the noble captain and needless to say things have changed in the last 30 odd years. Seems the captain is no longer the sole protector of Englands' green and pleasant land. Now there is a whole host of British superheroes helping him and - even more enticing - a super secret govern...

Os heróis britânicos da Marvel regressam, para combater uma invasão de andróides orgânicos da Mys-Tech, uma organização secreta de elites que venderam a alma em troca de poder, que se julgava extinta. O interessante nesta aventura não é a história em si, é o reviver, fugaz, de personagens exclusivos da Marvel UK. Nos anos 80, esta chancela da house of ideas atreveu-se a criar conteúdo totalmente britânico, e o resultado foram o tipo de super-heróis que se poderia esperar do retorcido humor inglê...

I enjoyed seeing these characters together again. I wish the volume would have been longer to tell more of the backstory. Seeing Jackdaw again (briefly) was a nice touch. The only problem with Marvel UK stuff is that when it incorporates Captain Britain, he seems very depowered. This story really captures the imagination. Seeing Death’s Head and Death’s Head II together was a lot of fun also. All in all, a welcome story bringing some fun characters together to save the world.

I think this would've been way better if I knew any of the characters other than Pete Wisdom and Captain Britain before reading it. I was also disappointed by the lack of

Long Live Marvel UK!

Marvel turns back the clock for this nostalgic look at their UK line of comics in this volume. Each chapter is a one-shot that deals with a former UK title, and how those characters have gotten along over the past few years of comic time. The Alpha issue brings back the old Mys-Tech group, drawing Captain Britain and Pete Wisdom into a war long thought over. Dark Angel showcases the techno-magician's history with Mephisto, and her desire to be free from the family debt. A band of former heroes r...

A graphic novel using all the old Marvel UK superheroes. Some evil force is taking its revenge on the heroes of the UK, Captain Britain has been kidnapped and Wisdom is in charge of getting him back. You don't need prior knowledge of Marvel UK to understand and enjoy this, though I did find the Deaths Head story line slightly confusing. I thought that Motormouth has real potential for a series out of all of the heroes. A good read, that you would probably enjoy more if you were a fan of Marvel U...

Reprints Revolutionary War: Alpha #1, Revolutionary War: Dark Angel #1, Revolutionary War: Knights of Pendragon #1, Revolutionary War: Death’s Head II #1, Revolutionary War: Super Soldiers #1, Revolutionary War: Motormouth #1, Revolutionary War: Warheads #1, and Revolutionary War: Omega #1 (March 2014-May 2014). The Mys-Tech Board dealt with demons to win eternal life…and their push to keep the eternal life was stopped by the heroes of the United Kingdom. Years have passed since the battle and n...

Ummm... wtf was this?Here’s a bunch of characters. Some of them you know, most of them you’re only vaguely aware of... but that’s ok because basically they all have the same personality; none at all.Oh, by the way, the plot is super convoluted and there’s no good reason for that.By the way... we’re going to fill most of the pages with mindless action, and it’s not going to be particularly well drawn.Sad. This looked really cool. It’s a shame that it had about as much emotional substance as a hal...

I was curious what storyline would have to be cooked up bring such a disparate group of heroes together, and sadly it is a contrived one. Some of the heroes were fun to see "return" but others felt shoehorned in, and the story faltered a lot as it tried to explain to readers who these people were and tried to pull them into the central narrative. There were some moments that were enjoyable but overall it felt forced.

More in the 2 to 2.5 at times.As someone who grew up with some of the Marvel UK heroes, I rather appreciate Marvel taking a look back to resurrect them and finish off their stories, which ended extremely abruptly. Just read the final Death's Head II and you know that series wasn't ending on a high note at all. It was pretty clear their best artists had left before a lot of the final issues as well, because a huge amount of the books suddenly had new "talent," and it was often some of the worse a...

I didn't grow up reading Marvel UK titles but hoped with the creators involved this could be a really good read. Sadly, this was a hodgepodge of nonsense. First off, eight parts was way too long even though I flew through each chapter. I constantly felt like I skipped pages for as little sense it made. The books weren't cohesive and the book served no purpose. There was some very good art to salvage it to some point.
