>British superhero team
This comes out on Wednesday and looks like it will be really good. Surprised nobody is talking about it.
The Union #1 Preview
Why does an englishwoman need to lead the team. Ffs.
Is this part of a unionist advertising campaign. Did they get Marvel on the payroll
>Pogg-Ur Pogg
>Doc Croc
Someone at Marvel really likes crocodiles
it makes sense... since in the real world britannia is an icon that represents britain. its pretty clear from here that downing street are constructing this superhero team in the comic with a unionist agenda, but the writer is obviously taking a critical stance.
IRA superhero team when?
Are they pro-brexit?
There're really lucky Dominic has already retried to his home planet
So Snakes is obviously the snakes that St. Patrick drove out of ireland coiled together into the shape of a man, but does he represent ireland as a whole or either north or south?
Wtf thought it was cancelled or something
they're changing the cotati plant people into symbiotes for king in black
>Defending the union
No thanks, I'm not a retarded faggot. Literally everyone in the UK hates England.
The plot is just new uk heroes, and Union Jack, right aliens they couldn't put it out with empyre so they rjiggered it for Knullshit.
Even the english?
Nah, they really love themselves. It's not like a fun quirky thing where everyone hates them, even themselves.
The English genuinely have some of the worst patter in the world.
I genuinely reckon only 2 in 10 english people have good chat.
I cannot wait for the Union to have the English heroes preaching about how we are better together and all that.

holy fuck please god no
This book's gonna look really dated in six years when the United Kingdom is just England and a soon-to-secede Cornwall.
Yes. Northern English hate Southern English, Cornwall has their own culture and Liverpool is basically an Irish plantation.
Even London is only worthwhile as a city because it's teeming with immigrants. It's only an English city by technicality.
the writer is clearly not defending the union you fucking retard
This series and team probably exists because Excalibur is now a Krakoa based team
>He couldn't take 20 seconds to search his Twitter
Genuine I can picture it now.
The Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish heroes are rightfully tired of the bullshit all go solo. Fail and lose to bad guy because of course a Celt can't succeed without Britain's guidance.
Brittania returns and makes a cringe speech about how Britain has always been stronger together and what we are missing is unity and teamwork. Team reforms and beats bad guy
how braindead do you have to be to miss the subtext on every page of the comic and in all the promotional material you arse wipe
I will be very surprised if that's not what we get.
>"It's time to find out who he's really fighting for."
>Story is all about shape shifters
KEK
they already did that in the joke opening here its drawn like a saturday morning cartoon and people are speaking childishly because its criticizing the simplicity and naivete of ideas like 'the spirit of britain'... like how in miracleman moore starts with a silver age throwback because the silver age ideal is the thing hes interrogating (not what he is reasserting)
and then this page makes it pretty obvious that the team have been made by the government as a propaganda effort ('show how *great* britain can be!')
followed by an internal monologue which is criticizing british imperialism...
if you think its going to be a comic about 'the power of the union' then you are potentially illiterate...
based britain defeating the EU crocodiles
Is this the book that was intended for that plant event?
Yeah, so I'm guessing it's just some advertisement mini-series for Brexit.
