Excalibur by Tini Howard Vol. 1
by Tini Howard
The two weakest titles from issue 1's I read for the new dawn title were Excalibur and Fallen Angels. Now that they are fully done with arc 1, what did I think? Well...
Excalibur tells a story of Captain Britain as she is at war. But the thing is goes from more fantasy setting to everyday setting with a cast of characters ranging from Rogue, Jubilee, Gambit, and more. It's a jumpy story and I feel if you are fans of Captain Britain or most of these characters you might get more out of the fantasy element.
However, I didn't care about Captain Britain or her war. In fact, that was what dragged the title down for me. Anything to do with that part of it was kind of boring. Saying that, I did enjoy the art, and I loved some of the character interactions. Especially Jubilee and her baby and anything with Apocalypse was pretty great. Also nice to see Rictor useful again.
Overall though, this is one of my least interesting stories from the new lineup. I like Tini Howard and her very much underrated Strike Force is a must read. This one is decent but not amazing. A 2.5 but I'll round it to a 3.
