Marvel & DC Omnibus

Excalibur Omnibus Vol. 2 continues the team’s strange corner of Marvel: British superhero absurdity, cross-time pressure and character drama that rarely behaves like a standard X-Men book.

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.
