icon_uka night out at the pub!
This is an unsual issue in that it has four different pencillers; David Williams, Mike Wieringo, Jeff Moy and Mike Miller, the art shifts are a little jarring at times, and Brian Braddock's hair approaches the hilarious at times, but try not to let that distract you..

The Uncreated
Nov. 26th, 2012 12:07 pmangelophileMentioned in this post, on the subject of societies without gods, there's The Uncreated. From issue #90 of Warren Ellis' Excalibur run, Kitty and Pete Wisdom break into a Black Air facility where Kitty inadvertently releases a group of aliens with a somewhat unusual theistic position...

A history of the Phoenix in her own words
Aug. 17th, 2012 08:44 pmsalineaBeen reading through old X-Men related comics for a while now, and I've just reached this point in Excalibur that provides an interesting counter point to, shall we say, current event:

I hunted for this issue in my backissue boxes for OPM week but couldn't find it until a couple of days ago, and as a moment, it's just brilliant.

roily_rogueI figured we're all familiar with the happy-go-lucky, exuberant side of Nightcrawler by now, so I thought I would provide a little contrast by taking a look at some of the character's darker hours - some of them rarely talked about, but absolutely crucial to his development.

EXCALIBUR #16: Lovcraftian tomfoolery
May. 25th, 2010 08:59 pmstarwolf_oakleyHere's the climax of EXCALIBUR #16, when the team was bouncing across parallel universes, like a proto-EXILES. I posted a page of this once before, as it involved the first (and only?) time Kitty Pryde ever killed someone.
All the Excalibur members have been separated from each other and lost their powers, and Kurt has just found out he may have mixed up his good guys and bad guys in this world.

Excalibur #62
May. 3rd, 2010 10:46 pmsuzeneTitle: Excalibur #62 - "Of Birth, Death, and the Confused, Painful Bit In Between" (1993, Marvel, 22 pages)
Creators: Alan Davis (writing and art)
Availability: Out of Print (at least until Excalibur Visionaries: Alan Davis v.3 hits)
In the course of investigating strange happenings at St. Oswald's church, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, and Cerise are ambushed by a group of strange individuals calling themselves the Seraphim. Rather than actually get beaten down, Kurt plays 'possum and allows himself to be taken to the Seraphim's base.
( And thus the stage is set for a Nightcrawler Crowning Moment of Awesome. )

And now, some Lockheed crack
Mar. 16th, 2010 10:22 pmuadlika
While rifling through the $.50 bin of my LCS I stumbled across Excalibur #40 "The Trial of Lockheed." Now I know very little about Excalibur but I love Lockheed so I picked it up without really reading it. It wasn't until later that I realized what a delightful piece of crack I had picked up. By the request of several people from my previous Lockheed post I am posting a few scans here. About 4 1/3 pages.
The premise: Lockheed is injured from something that happened in a Previous Issue. He's in surgery.

pallas_athenaWhen Excalibur was starting its run, Alan Davis included a pinup of one character in each issue. This one, from #3, is by far the wickedest.
I was planning to do something more intelligent for my maiden post, but what the hell. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... NIGHTCROTCH.

icon_ukin exchange for an exclusive cover issue of Siege #3!
Saw this up at Newsarama, and thought it might provoke some discussion, an announcement from Marvel Comics to their retailers.
( Seems a little... odd, to say the least )

X-Factor: Forever and Excalibur
Dec. 16th, 2009 02:37 pmsuzeneFresh off the presses at CBR: Louise Simonson is slated to do a five-issue X-Factor: Forever limited series.
This surprises me, but not in a bad way. Between this and Claremont's New Mutants: Forever coming up, I wonder if it's an indication of X-Men: Forever selling better than expected. I do like What Ifs when they're not blatant "This is why our way was better, STFU" responses to recent storylines, and if this leads to, oh say, Alan Davis drawing and writing an Excalibur: Forever limited, then Marvel may be getting some money out of me. Sadly, I don't think there's any way in the world we would ever get John Byrne on an Alpha Flight: Forever. *sigh*
Thoughts? Wishlists?
