ComicBookRevolution: Betsy Braddock Captain Britain #1 had a horrendous debut failing to even make the Top 75 and coming in at the number 87 spot. Absolutely nobody should be surprised by this fact. Tini Howard has not had any sales success and her Excalibur title crashed and burned in the sales rankings in a quick fashion. Howard’s mantle-swapped version of Betsy Braddock has failed to generate any fan interest. I did not think that rolling out a new comic with a #1 on the cover was going to change anything at all. It is a safe bet that Betsy Braddock Captain Britain will drop out of the Top 100 with just its second issue. At this point, I think it is obvious that this dog won’t hunt.
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

A dumpster fire. By comparison, Knights of X #1 last year had taken the 51st spot and still got axed after the fifth issue.
LMFAOOL! 😅
LMAO. This is embarrassing. Cerebrocast, Tini Howard, and JDW can say whatever they want, but when reality comes knocking at their door, there's no denying that nobody wants to read stupid Captain Britain nonsense by Tini Howard. It's game over.
Could have ranked 150th. Next time is a charm for lower.
Betsy as Captain Britain is the recipe for disaster. The more they punch at the nail the more they bleed. I'm enjoying it with caramel popcorn.
No one is shocked. Good for Bishops solo #1 doing better
Great. Let's give TH another mini. She's really good at it. Meanwhile, Kwannon gets to play with Carol Dancers, displaying all the powers that once belonged to Betsy. She's replacing Betsy.
She really is lol She is now using her TK to create an armor suit LOL so much for editorial attempting to differentiate the two.
Betsy should have stayed Dissambled Psylocke while Kwannon should be just become her own identity as the lethal assassin but she's essentially ninja Betsy Braddock and it's hilarious her fans hate Betsy when there would never be a Psylocke or Kwannon herself without Betsy
Mixia Cebulski is to thank for preserving the coochie cutter ninja Revanche substitute like the queef jerky she is
Hello is anyone here... Lindsay... Cerebrocast... Tini... Shaggy... Scooby.... we found another axing 🥱
I'm not really surprised. Betsy should give the mantle back to Brian and realize she's capable of being CB but does not need it.
Tini writing just does not give Betsy's personality, voice or edge imo. Much preferred Dissasembled Psylocke/Betsy despite how well she knows Betsy history.
That said am I reading it wrong or doesn't it say its doing better than Immortal X-Men, X-men & X-Terminators? If those are still around, why would anyone writing this book care?
Just curious cause I feel like I'm missing something lol.
Immortal 10, X-Men 18 and X-Terminators 5 are books from January. They sold a few more copies in February.
gm lady ishola - i heard you bellow then show tini howard and we laugh
tini howard find you amusing and we always laugh
A tent in Portland is waiting Coward and her hubby soon. Suits her for playing diversity hire and lezbian while married. Watch who gets the last laugh
lady ishola - is that the curse spell you cookin up in your cauldron??? you fit in well in otherworld fantasy - i tell tini howard to create a new besty braddock enemy based on you and we laugh
double double toil and trouble
No finger wave no coat chip your bunch knows to eat each other's flesh and go down in flames. Burn darlings bright
@Kevin oh dang. Thanks that puts it into perspective.
On the good side, maybe now Marvel will finally realize that the general audience isn't pleased with the direction they've given to Betsy.
On the bad side, I feel that, at this point, her character is too damaged and it may take a long while to make people interested in her again. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if, after this book is canceled, Betsy becomes reduced to a minor character not featured in any X-book and only appearing in one-panel cameos with no lines.
It's quite sad when we remember that at one point she was nearly falling into editorial limbo (being stuck in Claremont's New Exiles book) and, thanks to the fans constantly asking her to return to the X-Men, she managed to be brought back and slowly started to become more and more relevant, to the point that Remender added her to his UXF run and she was elected one year as the second best Marvel character (only losing to Iron Man). And all that effort is now wasted, as Howard managed to put Betsy in an even worse situation than the character was during New Exiles.
To be honest, at this point I'm more interested in Kwannon than in Betsy. Kwannon may have her own problems due to being basically a new Psylocke rather than having a personality and an identity of her own, but at least she is a Psylocke considerably similar to the one I loved (even though I wish she'd wear the uniform Betsy had during Cullen Bunn's run rather than the objectified blue leotard). As for Betsy, while I even like some of the current ideas (for example, I kinda like the idea of her dating Rachel; the problem is that their interactions are written in a very cringe way), I just don't recognize her as Betsy anymore. And I'm afraid most readers don't recognize her anymore, either.
Well, Kwannon has now joined a flagship book in Uncanny Avengers, alongside popular characters like Captain America and Deadpool. Meanwhile, Cerebrocast, Tini Howard, and their drones are desperately trying to convince us that Betsy becoming Captain Britain was such a great move, despite her being stuck in a D-list book that has been cancelled or relaunched multiple times, with no significant fan interest or hype, ultimately leading to her falling into obscurity and irrelevance.
It's ironic how Kwannon fans hate Betsy so much but love Kwannon who is 100% Betsy from a past era LOL idiots

My life was empty, forever on a down
Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear
I love you sweet leaf, though you can't hear
Oh, yeah baby!
Come on now, try it out!
Straight people don't know what you're about
They put you down and shut you out
You gave to me a new belief
And soon the world will love you sweet leaf
Also wouldn't be surprised if TH gets another book with Betsy. What will she name it? Do you think they'll just go back to Excalibur? 😂
Good lord, this Cerebrocast douchebag is a disease that has affected our fandom. But he is very transparent, it's now more evident than ever that the X-Office thinks splitting Betsy into two character was such a good idea.
@Randybear: New Excalibur vol 2. This time Betsy Braddock has to face the British people who doesn't want her to be their Captain Britain again while having second thoughts about what the role means to her and if she really is fit to be their Champion!!!
Nate X the new pet project of Coward is Scissor Sisters in Otherworld.
Betsy and Rach go to Japan find the scientist that turns genes into sperm and eggs so the incest couple can have super mutie kids for Krakoa. Guinness records butch Rach and fatale Bets to be first lezzies to become parents.
@Nate X, I think turning Betsy into Captain Britain wasn't a bad idea per se; Remender had her as Captain Britain for one arc and she was actually pretty cool in it.
The thing, at least to me, is that Betsy doesn't seem like Betsy in these last years. Her behavior, her dialogues, everything seems like it's a new character rather than the Betsy Braddock we've known for decades (regardless of which codename she's using and regardless of which body her mind/soul is inside).
@FSaker agreed.
@FSaker, I disagree. A "Captain Britain" can only work within the context of Captain Britain/Excalibur books, and there isn't a large enough market to sustain ongoing Captain Britain titles. "Captain Britain" has never been a popular character. Essentially, Betsy has been demoted by being given an irrelevant title. As Psylocke, she was a versatile character who could appear in multiple books such as X-Men, Excalibur, X-Factor, Exiles, and make guest appearances in larger Marvel Universe books. The possibilities were endless. However, as Captain Britain, she is restricted to a small corner of the Marvel Universe that the general public is not interested in, and other writers are not keen to explore. At this point, only a high-profile writer/artist team could create a successful Captain Britain book. Otherwise, we will always go for months without a single Betsy appearance until the next failed relaunch.

And the more they treat the Captain Britain moniker as an extension of the X-Men market, the less relevant it becomes. 80's Excalibur is the reason why no-one cares about Brian anymore. Brian should be doing his own thing, irrespective of the fact that his siblings and his wife are mutants, and Psylocke is first and foremost an X-Men character.
