"Betsy Braddock: Captain Britain" Listed as 5-issue Series


Betsy Braddock: Captain Britain #1 PRE-ORDER

Following some initial confusion with the cover artist and the interior artist both claiming “Betsy Braddock: Captain Britain” was a 5-issue limited series, Marvel later confirmed its status as an ongoing.

As was the case with “Knights of X”, Amazon.com is now listing “Betsy Braddock: Captain Britain” also as a limited series, which means the first arc is secured; however, a second arc will depend on strong sales.

Even though most of us do not like Tini Howard’s writing, we advise you to support this title because an early cancellation will mean Betsy in comic book limbo for a few more months as we are experiencing now. We wouldn’t like Betsy to miss the X-Men’s big 60th anniversary next year. Enduring Tini Howard’s poor characterization will be the lesser of two evils.
