Excalibur

Excalibur enters its mid-90s era with a rotating cast of creators navigating the team through the aftermath of Fatal Attractions, the Phalanx Covenant, and the Age of Apocalypse. The roster shifts dramatically as Pete Wisdom joins (Warren Ellis' sardonic British spy creation), Colossus defects from the X-Men after Illyana's death, and Kitty Pryde takes on a more central leadership role. Scott Lobdell, Warren Ellis and Ben Raab each steer the series in different directions while maintaining the book's unique voice. This massive 1320-page omnibus also includes the Pryde and Wisdom limited series and key crossover tie-ins that connect Excalibur to the larger X-Men tapestry.

Alan Davis returns as both writer and artist for the definitive Excalibur era, bringing the team to new heights of greatness and oddness. Davis resolves long-running plotlines with the Technet, Widget, and the Captain Britain Corps while introducing new threats and deepening the mythology of the multiverse. Scott Lobdell, Michael Higgins and Simon Furman also contribute stories during this era of creative transitions. The art throughout is stunning — Davis at the peak of his powers delivering some of the most beautiful superhero art of the early 90s. This volume includes the Possession one-shot, the Air Apparent annual and the XX Crossing special alongside the main series run.
