I was surprised to hear it was cancelled. I just assumed they were running a little late in putting out an issue. Like the ending with the vampires had a lot of build up but then no amazing pay off.

This is great to hear.For me this was an odd book tho, in the way that it was sooo much better the second time round.I think if it was to relaunch, then it should simply be "MI:13", rather than "Captain Britain and..." and focus more on the secret services spliced with magic side of it. I was glad that by the end of the third arc the writing began to be alot less formulaic- this book would only have gotten better the more the creative team settled into it!My only other criticism of this book was the persistent use of the phrase "Old top".

Bring it back!And this time include some Scottish heroes!! The MU needs more of those!
