So I'm sitting around reading comics and listening to my iTunes shuffling and I end up with The XX playing while I'm reading Captain Britain and MI: 13 and I'm thinking, "waaaait a sec...this is a little too good." It should be the soundtrack. It's haunting and melancholy and perfectly fits this moody British romp.
I don't think it's entirely coincidence that this happened during a Paul Cornell book given that his theme for his run on Dark X-Men was to use the intro blurbs creatively, inserting song titles or song lyrics after the name and powers "Wolverine, Healing Factor, Adamantium Skeleton, Head Like a Hole," for example (mine, not Cornell's). I love this idea and am going to consciously pay attention to more books that have fitting existing soundtracks out there. Let me know if you come up with any.
By the way, listen to The XX. Don't be an idiot.
