Excalibur #16

Rogue leads the charge on Mahmud Asrar's sweeping cover, striding forward with fierce determination through an enchanted, glowing woodland while her teammates — including Jubilee, a male figure in a green uniform, and Excalibur's resident blonde — follow close behind. Orbs of soft white light drift through the twilight forest like wandering spirits, giving the whole scene an otherworldly, Otherworld feel that suits the book's Arthurian-mutant mash-up perfectly. With a story title like "They Keep Killing Braddocks," issue #16 promises the kind of high-stakes drama that writer Tini Howard and artist Marcus To have been building toward all series long.
