Captain Britain 9: Dracula is Undead and Unliving on the Moon

Captain Britain and MI-13 9 has a very satisfying ending to the “Dream Corridor” arc.  Spoilers ahead…

Captain Britain 9

Pete Wisdom figures out how to sever everyone’s addiction to their greatest fantasy.  “You are going to take responsibility for your dreams.”  The sword that Dane Whitman has been carrying around has an even deeper mystery surrounding it.  There’s a lot of characters to juggle around in this book, but everyone gets a bit of love, there’s even hope for Meggan and Captain Britain.  Blade and Spitfire go from being enemies to lovers by the end, as someone predicted.  Then there are the last few pages…

Dracula Returns

Dracula is back, no big surprise, as Cornell has mentioned this in a few recent interviews.  But look at where he lives—on the friggin’ Moon!  The best home for a vampire, where he never sees the Sun.  “Get me Doctor Doom.”  Fantastic.  Dracula’s playing on a scale that he never has before.  I can’t wait for the Dracula arc.

Captain Britain is one of the best books Marvel is publishing now, I hope you are all picking it up.  Nuff said.

Ummm.... I know it's a comic book, and all, but it IS a current comic, so I'd be very disappointed if Dracula's rationale for being on the Moon is that he never has to see the sun. Unless he has castles on both hemispheres of the moon, and moves every 14 days or so. There is no permanent "dark side". It all gets sunlight. Bare, unfiltered sunlight due to the lack of atmosphere, which makes me wonder how he's talking to his minions while standing on an outside balcony. Seriously, has Marvel come up with some decent comic book science to cover this stuff?
