[The Englishman]

Love that cover of Cap and the plane.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Awesome issue. Sage is goin nuts

 

[Cdnmouse]

I just liked what Sage did to the Evil Cyclops, that was kick ass

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I needed a kick ass issue. Things were getting boring.

“BATTLE FOR ETERNITY”
The sun never sets on the British Empire, but Albion has ushered in an age of darkness. He has neutralized all technology in Britain, reducing the island to a pre-industrial state. His corps of Shadow Captains has cemented his control and now serves as the standing army in his war against Roma and the Captain Britain Corps. Excalibur is the only hope to overcome this threat, but what chance do they have with a traitor lurking in their ranks?

Whys it called X-Men: Die by the sword when it involves Excalibur and The Exiles??

 

[anyjus]

Well let's see...

Dazzler
Sage
Juggernaut
Psylocke
Longshot ALL X-MEN


Sabretooth
Blink
Morph X-Men of their own respective dimensions

Captain Britain
Pete Wisdom part of 2 incarnations of Excalibur

Excalibur is a splinter faction of the X-Men

 

[Valechan]

and X-Men sells more than Excalibur. October's my birthday month and it looks awfully great with those previews

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Claremont gets to have a blast. :

 

[OutcryX]

regardless....it doesnt involve any current x-men. its called that to sell books...and Blink isnt on the cover....i knew claremont was going sideline her for psylocke. he doesnt write well for any character he didnt create.

Yes she is. She's right next to Dazzler.

 

[Havok83]

Well let's see...

Dazzler
Sage
Juggernaut
Psylocke
Longshot ALL X-MEN

All FORMER X-men. Marvel knew that if the series was called New Excalibur it wouldnt sell well seeing as how the main series does. X-men assures that it gets a bump in sales.

 

[The Englishman]

So whats every bodys dream Excalibur line up then?

 

[OutcryX]

Yes she is. She's right next to Dazzler.

is that Blink? since when does she wear a two piece? i thought that was sage

 

[El Bastardo]

More accurately the title is preceded by an "X-Men" to accurately place it in the franchise. And Excalibur is a part of the X-Men franchise.

I'm buying Exiles, but even I don't think I'll read that little mini. I dropped New Excalibur... awhile ago.

What would make you pick the book back up??

 

[Valechan]

I want Cerize back in Excalibur

 

[chris moore]

So whats every bodys dream Excalibur line up then?

Captain Britain, Wisdom as Liaison but not leader, Psylocke, Micromax (but with more training and less of a relaxed attitude), Chamber (repowered or mini Apoc is fine - long as mini Apoc comes with a clever power based on his former one), Warren to get him and Betsy interracting again and past the shambles of Thunderbird III.

 

[The Englishman]

Mine would be..

Captain Britain (leader)
Psylocke (Swap her with nocturn)
Chamber (Back to old pre weapon x self)
Pete Wisdom (Link to government)
Lionheart (To redeem herself)
Black Knight (Liked him in the recent issues)
Micromax
Dazzler?
