Is Captain Britain and MI13 cancelled?!?

[KidEternity]

I heard this news from a friend at a nightclub tonight ( lost story ) and I have just searched the interwebs but the news doesn't seem to stick. Did anyone else hear anything?

I will reserve outright pissy, fanboy induced spitting madness until I find out it's true.

I doubt that's true, they're giving the series a big push with the storyline of Dracula taking over the United Kingdom.

OK. Apparently it was just a rumor. From Newsadrama:

"There’s a rumor starting to grow across that internet that Marvel’s Captain Britain and MI: 13 has been cancelled by the publisher due to low post-Secret Invasion sales. This is, however, not true.

Marvel has assured Newsarama that the fan-favorite book written by Paul Cornell is just fine, and has a healthy life ahead.

When asked about rumored cancellation of Captain Britain & MI13, a Marvel representative said, “The series isn’t cancelled—in fact, we’re coming up on a storyline that’s going to change the team forever starting in Captain Britain & MI13 #10 when Doom & Dracula enter the mix. Add in the return of Meggan, an appearance by the team in Mighty Avengers and more for a pretty exciting time to be a fan of the series!”

I feel much better. How that rumor travelled from the internet to the bartender I was talking to last night at The Abbey in Weho in just a matter of minutes is beyond me. But kinda funny.

Besides, how could you not love a teaser like this:



It's Doom and freakin' Dracula! On the freakin' moon!! WHY?!? Read it and find out!

How long do you think it will take before they become "Captain Britain And Excalibur"?
