Revolutionary War: Alpha #1

Against a bold Union Jack backdrop, Mark Brooks assembles a sprawling cast of Marvel UK heroes and villains — including a skull-faced armored figure, a young woman in a black-and-gold uniform, a red-costumed hero, a dark-clad man with clawed gauntlets, and more than a dozen additional characters stretching back into the distance. This 2014 Marvel event kickoff wears its British pride loudly, positioning an impressively diverse roster of characters as if marching straight toward the reader. For fans of Marvel's UK corner of the universe, this Alpha issue promises a big, ambitious story is about to unfold.
