Alan Davis

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.

The Phoenix saga continues beyond the Dark Phoenix with this massive 1328-page omnibus tracing the cosmic force's impact across the Marvel Universe. From the legendary Days of Future Past storyline through Jean Grey's miraculous return in Fantastic Four #286 and the founding of X-Factor, to Rachel Summers wielding the Phoenix Force in Excalibur, this volume connects decades of continuity into one cohesive narrative. Key stories include Madelyne Pryor's Goblin Queen transformation in Inferno, the birth of Nathan Summers (Cable), and the Phoenix's recurring role in shaping mutant destiny. Written primarily by Chris Claremont with contributions from John Byrne, Louise Simonson and Alan Davis, this omnibus is essential for understanding how one character's sacrifice echoed through an entire universe of stories.
