Excalibur #10

Betsy Braddock stands resolute at the center of Mahmud Asrar's striking cover, rose crown in her hair and crackling pink magical energy surging from one hand while a burning London — Big Ben wreathed in flames and smoke — looms behind her. Strange, fleshy tendrils and glowing magenta orbs creep in from the edges of the frame, suggesting the city's crisis is anything but ordinary. Tini Howard, Marcus To, and Erick Arciniega bring their "Crooked World" arc to a vivid head with this tenth issue, and the cover alone makes a compelling case for what's at stake.
