The story pits Captain Britain against a host of threats including Mad Jim Jaspers and the mysterious Captain U.K., while exploring the multiverse of British champions like Captain Albion and Captain England. With appearances by Opal Luna Saturnyne and the bizarre Otherworld denizens, this volume is a key chapter in the character's modern adventures.
In "A Crooked World," Alan Moore and Alan Davis deliver a striking return to form for Captain Britain, who steps back into his own reality only to find Braddock Manor standing whole and untouched—far from the ruin he expected. As he explores the house, haunting visions of his parents unfold, revealing a shocking truth: the manor is a living archive, its memories projected by Mastermind’s super-computer, now reclaimed and repurposed by Brian. The cover by Alan Davis captures the eerie elegance of the moment, a perfect match for the story’s blend of personal revelation and quiet triumph.
In "A Crooked World," Captain Britain finds himself hunted by a rogue government weapon known as the Fury, a cybiote unleashed to eliminate him and Saturnyne after the world spirals into chaos. With Jackdaw dead and his own body broken, Captain Britain is forced to rely on an unexpected savior—Mad Jim Jaspers—when all hope seems lost.
In "Graveyard Shift," Captain Britain confronts Jaspers, who reveals the chilling truth behind the demise of every superhero in this reality—and the twisted logic driving his global upheaval. Haunted and unraveling, Cap flees to a silent graveyard, only to find himself standing beside the fresh grave of Captain U.K., where the Fury's sudden arrival ends his story in a single, devastating blast.
In "An Englishman's Home," Captain Britain returns to Braddock Manor only to find it untouched—its halls pristine, its past alive in haunting holograms. As he grapples with visions of his parents, he uncovers the truth: the manor’s illusions are the work of Mastermind, the very machine behind his family’s tragedy. Now in control, Brian reshapes the super-computer for his own purposes, finally settling into a sanctuary of his own—until the phone rings.
In "… Thicker than Water," Brian, a reluctant hero under the mantle of Captain Britain, reunites with his estranged sister Betsy—only to find her entangled in a deadly conspiracy within the U.K.'s STRIKE psi-division. As Betsy reveals that Vixen agents have infiltrated and silenced her allies, Brian must confront the shocking truth behind the assassin sent to kill her—Slaymaster—before the betrayal consumes them both.
In "Killing Ground," Jo faces off against a revamped Slaymaster, but even the newest version of the assassin can't outmaneuver the newly enhanced Captain Britain. Meanwhile, the Vixen alerts Arcade that his agent has failed to eliminate all of STRIKE’s psi-operatives.
In "Judgement Day," Captain Britain is dragged before the extra-dimensional court of Saturnyne by the Special Executive, forced to confront a past he’d rather forget. Though he initially refuses to testify—still wounded by her abandonment—he’s shaken by her broken state and the unsettling truth that her judge is also her heir, with everything to gain from her downfall. As the trial unfolds, the fate of Earth-238 hangs in the balance, and the Fury’s escape sets the stage for something far greater.
In "Rough Justice," former Captain U.K. Linda McQuillan grapples with haunting memories of Earth-238, where the Fury took everything from her, while Captain Britain finds himself caught in a surreal kangaroo court on the Otherworld, where Saturnyne faces swift condemnation for her failure on that same doomed world. Tensions explode when the restrained hero breaks free, igniting a confrontation that threatens to unravel the fragile order of the proceedings.
In "Arrivals," the Fury descends on Earth with a deadly purpose, while Saturnyne’s trial erupts into chaos as Captain Britain leads the charge. With Cap, Luna, and the Special Executive fleeing to safety, they take refuge at Braddock Manor—only for Linda to arrive with a chilling warning of an imminent genocide.
In "Waiting for the End of the World," Merlyn and Roma watch in dread as the cosmic game they've set in motion begins to unravel. With Earth-616's James Jaspers unleashing his reality-warping powers to erase superheroes, Captain Britain races to convince Linda to reclaim her role as Captain U.K.—but she flees, fearing a return to the madness she once endured, only to vanish into the grasp of the Fury.
In the shadowed woods beyond Braddock manor, Linda faces the Fury alone—only to be overwhelmed as Captain Britain and the Special Executive rush in, unprepared for the onslaught. When Wardog loses his cybernetic arm and a Legion duplicate falls, Merlyn’s confidence in the game begins to crack, even as the true nature of the Fury remains shrouded in mystery.
In "But They Never Really Die," Captain Britain and the Special Executive face off against the relentless Fury, managing a hard-won victory that leaves the creature buried under rubble—but not before suffering a loss and a dwindling paycheck. With their mission concluded and their future uncertain, the team prepares to leave Earth behind, chasing new contracts and the next fight.
In the shadow of James Jaspers’ crackdown and the forced internment of powered individuals, two young girls hiding in the dark share quiet thoughts about Captain Britain, their whispered conversation a fragile spark of hope in a world gone cold.
In "The Twisted World (Reprise)," Jo and the team confront the escalating chaos as Jaspers' reality-warping powers reshape England into a fractured, totalitarian landscape where time itself unravels. With the Fury awakened once more and the Vixen taking desperate action against Jaspers, the line between hero and villain blurs in a world where nothing is as it should be.
In "Among Those Dark Satanic Mills (or Madwar)," Captain Britain races to stop Mad Jim Jaspers, whose growing power has escalated beyond Earth and into cosmic realms. As the game's stakes rise, Luna, Betsy, and the others face brutal loss at the hands of the Beetles, while Saturnyne confronts Linda over her failure to act—pushing the terrified woman to the edge. With Merlyn refusing to end the game despite the mounting toll, Captain Britain arrives at Jaspers' lair, only to find the villain now wielding influence on a scale no one could have predicted.
When Saturnyne convinces Linda to don the Captain U.K. uniform, the stakes rise in a battle against the relentless Jaspers. Captain Britain faces off against the chaotic Mad Jim, only to have his mind twisted and his resolve shattered in a brutal confrontation.
In "Foolsmate," Captain Britain faces off against the chaotic James Jaspers, who’s already pushing his limits—until the Fury arrives, uninvited but undeniably powerful. As Mad Jim’s ego collides with the Fury’s raw might, the battle escalates beyond control. Meanwhile, Roma seeks answers from her father, only to learn Merlyn is gone, leaving the fate of the game uncertain.
In "Endgame," Captain Britain faces his ultimate test as the cosmic war between Jaspers and the Fury reaches its climax—only to find that victory comes at a cost. With the Executioner's betrayal and the Fury's overwhelming power, the battle for reality hangs in the balance, and even the might of Captain Britain is pushed to the edge. When the dust settles, it's not the hero who claims the final blow, but a long-forgotten ally who steps forward in a moment that reshapes destiny.
In "A Funeral on Otherworld," Brian, Linda, and Opal arrive in the mystical realm to honor Merlyn’s passing, where Roma offers quiet hope amid the solemnity. As the Corps gathers, the weight of recent struggles lingers, and even as some return home, the echoes of what’s been lost and what’s yet to come hang in the air.
