Liked this more than I was expecting to. Had a slow start with the black and white issues, but the issues in the book being shorter than usual (9-13 pages each) made it easier to digest. Once Alan Moore (weirdly uncredited) gets writing it gets quite interesting. He and Jamie Delano were able to take this book to some strange and interesting places. Loved the weird and wacky characters (Saturnyne, the Crazy Gang, Mad Jim Jaspers, the Fury, Gatecrasher's Technet) as well as the loveable cast around Captain Britain (particularly Betsy and Meggan), and the abstract other-dimensional adventures and happenings. 
Alan Davis on art is consistently great. I particularly noticed his creative compositions and panelling in here. Plus, great character and creature designs. I started Excalibur right after this and, 6 issues in at time of writing, it's somehow even better (more traditional panelling but the way he draws everything just slaps)
