This is our 277th edition. Been a couple weeks since the
last set of reviews again. Just one book this week, and it'll
be a short review.
Captain Britain and MI:13 #7 - "Hell Comes to Birmingham, Part Two"
(Writer: Paul Cornell, Penciler: Leonard
Kirk, Inkers: Michael Bair with Jay Leisten
and Craig Yeung, Colorists: Brian Reber
with John Rauch)
(jump to last issue)
MI:13 must deal with Mindless Ones and the mysterious Plotka, who
offers you your heart's desire... at a cost.
While it's an okay issue, it does suffer slightly from the
overall plot, and being a middle part of that plot. Characters
being tempted with their heart's desire is a classic plot, but
it's hard to get excited about it in comic form, particularly
where, as in this case, it's a large part of the individual
issue. What might work well as a part of a longer story is
weaker when cut into small pieces. That's not to say seeing
people witness with their heart's desire isn't interesting, it
just the type of element that holds few surprises.
So, it's a little weaker than the usual issue of the title, but
I'm still enjoying the series as a whole.
Review: 3 stars

Well, that's it for this week folks. Next week, according to the
shipping list, it's another skip week.
See you next time...
