Uh huh.

Captain Britain & The MI: 13 #2 Second Printing Variant features the stunning interior art of Kirk on a new cover, as the Black Knight shows the Skrulls just what it means to face an Avenger!

Hailing the series as a must read, IGN.Com’s Bryan Joel raves, “The quality is still as high as the inaugural issue, as far as I'm concerned…Cap is easily my favorite thing to spring out of Secret Invasion so far.”

“I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that he could rival Joss Whedon in the quotability stakes,” said ComicsBulletin.Com’s David Wallace of Cornell. “

Paul Steven Brown of ComicAddiction.Com said, “Leonard Kirk continues to do an incredible job visually.”
