Union Jack was an old character during WWII fighting alongside with Captain America, Lord Montgomery Falsworth (Union Jack) doesn't do well in the end, he was paralyzed both of his legs by his nemesis Baron Blood a Nazi vampire.Modern Union Jack wasn't from Falsworth family though, Joey Chapman, a dock workers son. Armed with Webley Vintage pistol (Means its damn old model) and a silver dagger, he fights vampires just like Blade( Well, just consider as British version of Blade holding low tech armory.
Story was about bunch of vampires pursuing a legendary Holy Grail to evolutes into a godlike form (Immune to sunlight and without the thirst of blood). Lord Falsworths in law grandson, Kenneth Crichton was infected with Anemia and his days were numbered (That's why modern Union Jack wasn't from Falsworths bloodline), become a vampire after got devastated from his body condition.
The rest was just vampires ass kicking and Kenneth died and Baroness the vampire gang leader got a way with immunity power.
Storylines was normal and nothing special, but John Cassaday artwork is worth a look.
Story: Acceptable
Artwork: Good
Overall: Acceptable
Union Jack 2 was far more better storyline and with penciler like Paul Jenkins, it's worth collecting.
This time Joey (Union Jack) was called to stop a series of planned terrorist attack in London formed by R.A.I.D. Forming a team that consist of SHIELD's former deputy director Contessa Allegra Valentina De La Fontaine (long name huh?), Isreal heroein Sabra and Saudi's Arabian Knight.
Facing villian and mercenaries like Shockwave, Firebrand, Ecstacy, Boomerang, Zaran, Machete, Crossfire, Jack O'Lantern, Jackhammer and the Corruptor its quite an exciting storyline to flow with. This series fully express how Union Jack overcome villians using his wits. But story doesn't ends after stopping all the attacks and getting all the villains ass kicked.
Eventually Gavin, the MI5 deputy director knew all the attacks earlier on, he sent all the big shots like Captain Britain and Micromax to chase a ghost other country, avoid asking help from US heroes like Avengers and make the attacks look worse enough to force the former director to resign. Well, Joey figure it out in the end and burst his secret with a bunch reporters.

This series may not favor to the usual Union Jack fans as there will be not vampire biting around but the excitement still can juice it up.
Guts and wits blokes, that's whats Union Jack all bout.
