| The Union (Comic Book) | comment |
The Union is a 2021 Marvel comic book written by Paul Grist, with art by Grist and Andrea Di Vito.Britannia, Britain's greatest superhero, has decided now is the right time to finally form a superhero team made up of superheroes from all four nations of the United Kingdom: Union Jack (Joe Chapman) representing England. Snakes, a mysterious super-strong man representing Northern Ireland Kelpie, an ancient water demon, representing Scotland. And the Choir, a former supervillain named Skreem, representing Wales.Unfortunately, their first mission (which is really just a recruiting drive) is interrupted by an invasion of symbiote dragons. The team manages to fight one-off, but Britannia is killed, leaving Union Jack in charge.And boy does he not want to be. | |

Spiritual Successor | |
| The Union (Comic Book) / int_27a42ebc | comment |
Spiritual Successor: The book seems to be this to Grist's previous comic Jack Staff, but just set in the Marvel Universe. This is funny since Jack Staff started off as a pitch for a Union Jack book. | |

More than Mind Control: In the second issue, the Choir ends up being taken over by one of Knull's symbiotes... and willingly embraces her connection to the dark god, pleading for Knull not to leave her when the symbiote is destroyed. | |

We Hardly Knew Ye: Britannia's very first appearance is the first issue...and she dies at the end of it. This ends up subverted, however, as there are continuing flashbacks to when she was alive and recruiting the team. | |

Back from the Dead: Britannia, sort of. It turns out that she saved her spirit inside Union Jack's body, so she's "alive," even though her body is technically dead. | |
