Marvel Comics

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.

Captain Britain, Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde, Rachel Summers and Meggan form Excalibur, the UK-based mutant team that blended X-Men action with distinctly British humor and interdimensional madness. Chris Claremont and Alan Davis created something unique in the X-Men line — a book where the team might fight Nazis in one issue and get lost in a cross-dimensional caper through the multiverse the next. Davis' clean, dynamic art is perfectly suited to both the comedy and the action, and his design work for the Crazy Gang, the Technet and the many alternate realities is endlessly inventive. This first omnibus collects the complete Claremont run including the Special Edition, the Mojo Mayhem annual and the Weird War III graphic novel.
