I’m finally getting around to reading Alan Moore and Alan Davis’s Crooked World story (and thank goodness for the preservation work that’s out there) and damn Betsy is hitting me hard here.

A section of a comic page foregrounding a people-haired woman lamenting that England has gone insane — there are concentration camps and stormtroopers, and she’s lost all sense of time.

Henry Cavill quietly entered the MCU in 2024 with his Deadpool & Wolverine cameo as the multiverse Logan variant dubbed "the Cavillrine" Now industry chatter points to Marvel possibly eyeing him as The Beyonder in Avengers: Secret Wars.

After a bit of a reset, I've started feeling up for designing cards again. Our Monthly Venture Club Tournaments have been a little less bumping lately, but I put together prize packs for the 1st place winners from earlier this year. One was Marvel only and the other was DC, hence the lineups!

I've definitely posted early mockups of the Marvel ones, but something never quite worked for me. I'm a lot happier with renditions and think the Gold/Black strip will really pop in foil.

TCG playing card proxy for OverPower card game. Multiple variants of the Betsy Braddock iteration of Captain Britain appear, pastel pink hair flowing as the heroes propel towards the viewer, adorned in a costume evoking the Union Jack flag. Betsy herself raises her sword high.

Six Characters face the viewer. Wolverine brandishes his claws, the ethereal Storm floats above her teammates, Cyclops readies his red optic blast. The ninja like Psylocke is armed with her psychic knives, Iceman and the massively metallic Colossus stand alert in the background. A monstrous, purple and pink robot head looms in the background.

A monstrous and intimidating rendition of the Hulk glares at the viewer. His massive hands ready to cause violence, his veins throb and pulsate in his massive limbs.

Marvel's first family, the Fantastic Four, rappel away from the viewer. The flaming Human Torch leads the way for his compatriots, through a technicolor world. The tone is hopeful.

New X-aminations! Looking at Excalibur #110, in which Captain Britain quits again as the series continues to go through the motions of being a comic book which exists. #XMen #Excalibur #Xaminations #CaptainBritain

Perdidos En El Éter #616 - Marvel Tierra-616 / Captain Britain por Alan Moore y Alan Davis

Con un número de programa así, no podíamos no hablar de lo orígenes de la designación númerica del universo Marvel central. Claro, el Universo 616, ese donde pasan todas las historias principales (y algunas no tanto) de los comics. Con nuestro amigo Gus Casal repasamos los Orígenes Secretos de la numeración universal, surgidas en los comics de Captain Britain de la sucursal británica de Marvel, más los del propio superhéroe.

Después, reseñamos la saga de principios y mediados de los 80s de Captain Britain "A CrookeD World", donde se usa por primera vez la númeración. Un joven Alan Moore y un aún más joven Alan Davis, lejos todavía de sus éxitos en los EEUU, llevan adelante una épica de superhéroes y ciencia ficción, sacando unas diez páginas por mes, para sentar las bases de cosas que serían usadas por varias décadas más.

Con música de The Clash, Depeche Mode, y Madness.

Card 041: Captain Britain

Kind of an awkward layout, making a character more or less defined by his power seem squat and compact. Frankly, the cardback figure is stronger.

UK 1st appearance gets cited w/no distinction.

We close out this issue with a great Alan Davis/Paul Neary pinup of Gatecrasher and her sidekick Yap, which might also be a portent of an upcoming storyline…! #marvel #captainbritain
