I mentioned yesterday I'd storytime some Captain Britain for the anon that requested it so let's jump right in
I've actually never read this story so I'm getting to enjoy it for my first time. I think I had just grabbed this for a friend and forgot about it.
>>94830356
AWWW HELL YEAH! Thank you, OP!
>>94831143
You are most welcome. Anything I can to make people's days better.
>>94830833
Oberon is such a badass.
Malicious code my ass. Also, for everyone in this thread I don't think I'm going to quite wrap things up in one thread. The run I have is 16 issues (15 plus Annual) so would you rather I just try to get it all today in two threads or do half now and half tomorrow?
>>94831205
I always considered this part of the Skrull Invasion more terrifying than what was happening in the States.
Malicious code again? WTF
>>94831599
I agree. Something about the Skrulls plus magic seems like a force to be reckoned with. They would eat the Chitari
Awesome
>>94831543
>all today in two threads or do half now and half tomorrow?
Whatever's best for you, OP...you're the one doing a solid.
>>94831733
I'll wait and see how I feel once I reach the halfway point.
>>94831804
>I'll wait and see how I feel once I reach the halfway point.
Right on, OP...I'll also try to keep this alive so anons can find it this evening as it's such the jam.

Proper fucking capes done well and right...Cornell was so good on this book.
BUMP for MI13
>>94832551
Sorry for the pause. Just watched the Pickle Rick episode of Rick and Morty and was entranced the entire time.
I love this series, I wish Faiza was used more but in the current climate it might not be a good thing. Plus the only people who bring her up are people who say she should be Captain Britain.
Doing god's work, OP. Bumpin'.
Since you haven't read this before, the Wisdom MAX mini that Cornell wrote pretty much leads into this. It doesn't have much Brian in it at all, though, but it will give you a bit more backstory behind Tink, John the Skrull and Captain Midlands.
>>94832724
Or the people who already think she's Captain Britain just because of an AU and they can't shut up about it. Shit sucks, I love this team.
>>94832724
>I love this series, I wish Faiza was used more but in the current climate it might not be a good thing. Plus the only people who bring her up are people who say she should be Captain Britain.
I think she's the business when she's Excalibur and despite the current climate she'd do well if written properly like Cornell wrote he and not as some token Muslim.
>>94832645
>Sorry for the pause.
Nothin' doin'...just keepin' it alive, bro.
How is there so much malicious code? God dammit
>>94830669
You'll enjoy it even more. Believe me.
>>94833006
Spitfire best girl
>>94832859
>>94832873
It's hard because I liked reading her but with so much politicalzation these days people will either think she's just a token, forced diversity, or well get think pieces about what a Muslim women wielding Excalibur destroys the patriarchy. I just want to see more adventures with her and Black Knight is that so much to ask.
Awwwwwwww
>>94833093
Bump
>>94832946
What do you mean malicious code? Are you having trouble uploading certain pages?
Thanks for storytime btw
>>94833146
>I just want to see more adventures with her and Black Knight is that so much to ask.
In today's society, probably.I wanna see it too.
>>94833277
Yeah. It seems that at least one or two pages per issue come up with that malicious code error when I upload. All it takes is for me to resave the image but it still stops the auto post which is mildly irritating.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!!?!?!
>>94833277
Whenever you upload an image, the site may reject it because it "contains malicious code". No, I don't know what that's about either.
>>94833320
This just Blade on the first date.
>>94833320
Blade gonna do what Blade gotta do.
>>94833320
Quickest way to a woman's heart.
>>94833369You're not kidding
>>94833309
>>94833329
I asked because it could genuinely contain malicious code; I've run into it before, in comic archives. (extremely rarely)
The most common malicious code in images are taking advantage of (old, long-since patched) browser exploits- when a browser would load a page with the malicious image, it'd.... do something vaguely bad/malicious. It varies. It could be something else, targeting an operating system, but browser exploits are the most common for images.
When you open an image in an editor, it only reads the image data and not the malicious code. And then when you resave it, it writes the imagedata "fresh", without the malicious data.
So it's possibly old malicious shit to make IE6 install a browser add-on or something.
This is just a The More You Know. There's nothing you can really do to make uploading easier. I'd think most virus scans would pick up on it though if you wanted to clean up your collection.
>>94832101
>no more skrulls
kek
>>94833505
I've actually never had that happen to me. I must have gotten lucky. I'll use my anti-virus and give my comic director a scan.
Fucking hell. I have over a hundred gigs in comics. This may take a while.
>>94833706
It's pretty rare and 4chan could also be flagging false positives. Just keep in mind if you do scan though: your antivirus might quarantine or delete comic pages (with perfectly fine image data) with malicious data. That'd suck.
>>94833830
I think it's set up so it only identifies. I have to manually move it to quarantine and then from there delete
Fuck. It's over 200 gigs in comics. This may take longer than I expected.
>>94833862
>>94833878
If I were in your position this would probably a low priority as any malicious shit would be "dormant" and probably not affect your system- more of a chore to maybe run overnight or in batches, than an emergency. GLHF
Over 300. I think I might cancel the scan and just do one folder at a time or a batch of folders tied to a particular writer.
>>94833938
HAHAHAHA! Haven't had this happen in a while. I wonder where my image went.
>>94833938
Uhm, mate?
>>94834084

Yeah, that same image I just spotted in the Marvel Solicits thread with the same time code...trippy.
>>94834247
This is my /tg/ solution to all encounters. Close the door.
>>94834274
Spitfire is so fucking cool.
>>94834502
Damn straight
>>94831669
Fucking bad ass. Brian is such a great character/

I'm going to do one more issue and then call it for this thread. I'll pick up with the remaining 8 issues in tomorrow's thread.
I think this is a really sweet place to end this thread. I hope everyone enjoyed. I'll see you guys around 12-1 tomorrow so we can finish this series!

Thanks, OP...such a solid for storytiming this...EST forever!

Thanks, OP. Always good to see these guys again, even though it sucks that their run was so short.

What do you prefer /co/:
1) magic that is just advanced science
2) magic that is a real thing, and will fuck you up like the science nerd you are if you look at it sideways?Personally, I much prefer the latter
Bump
>>94836974
While both exist in the 616, I prefer the latter.

Does Nazi Sat-Yr-9 (aka Courtney Ross) show up in Cornell's run?
Still bitter as fuck Cap never found out that his first love was murdered and replaced by a Nazi super villain who spent the bulk of the Claremont Excalibur run trying to kill Brian.
>>94844140
He actually did find out (during the Alan Davis Excalibur run, when he was wrapping up all of Claremont's loose ends).
Problem is, she got away after being outed and Davis never followed up/Lobdell, Ellis, and Raab never bothered to follow up on any of it. And when Claremont brought her back in Uncanny, he pretty much pretended she never got outed and then had Joss Whedon pettily kill the entire storyline he was building up with Sat-Yr-9 hijacking control over the Hellfire Club. Then when she reappeared in Post-House of M Exalibur, he completely forgot she was not the real Courtney Ross and wrote her like it was the real deal and not her evil scheming Nazi double.
>>94844140
CB & MI-13 doesn't really pull too much from either Excalibur or the old Captain Britain books, story wise. Also, what >>94844184 said.
>>94834895
Awww...Yes....The messed up plot of "Where's Waldo?".
Waldo being the ebony blade. This was such a mess that it stretch to the Black Panther series in other to somehow wrap it out. Gonna check if it was done by the same writer.
>>94830545
The fuck?
>>94834172
Ooo, you bastard.
>>94834319
I wonder if she sounds like Lady Penelope...
>>94835491
NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
>>94836974
Magic, Magick, science, super-science, magic-as-advanced-tech, Weird Science, magic pretending to be science, roll it all up into a spicy sci-magic burrito, slather with habanero sauce, gobble it up and wash it down with a Pan-Galactic Gargleblaster.
>>94832873That said, I still want to see a new version of Slaymaster as an Islamic terrorist as a villain for Faiza. It'd fit, surely?
>>94846608
Spitfire is a vampire.
>>94847333
The original slaymaster was an obsessive cosplayer, the claremontian slaymaster was a sick alpha bastard that became an ominversal threat, they were all the same person, mind you, just differently written. The last one was just a hillbilly who stole slaymaster's outfit.
I can't imagine him as a terrorist but I guess he can "cosplay" as one.
>>94830529
>Gordon Brown
Lel, I forgot
The whole sequence from >>94831402 to >>94831669 is possibly one of my favourite ever in comic books -it works so well, it's literally epic in scope and actually manages to celebrate the good in British spirit without grandeur
I'm not even British but damn is this series underrated, I wish Cornell was still this writer and that the editors still did their job since this book also was a little gem of acknowledging continuity and making it work
>>94831669
>>94831892
>>94835129
The thing that really annoys me is that this was such a 10/10 look for Brian. A real natural evolution of Captain Britain as a modern superhero and icon for the 616 universe, and then in every appearance since this awesome series they've just thrown him back into his meh 80s Alan Davis look. It's a fucking crime.
>>94830485
I love British super heroes, too!
>>94831376

>The Fury
So it came back after Moore's run, or is it another Fury he's speaking of?
20 minutes and I'll start the next thread.
Get on the bus!

I think he showed up in this costume at least one more time
In a Deadpool book of all things
