Excalibur #20

The clash promised right on the cover — Captain Britain vs. Phoenix — erupts in vivid 1990 Marvel fashion, as the two teammates surge toward each other amid a storm of fire and raw power, with the rest of Excalibur visible in the background watching the confrontation unfold. Ron Lim and Joe Rubinstein pack the image with kinetic energy, Captain Britain's fist cocked and Phoenix wreathed in crackling flames, making it immediately clear that something serious is driving these allies apart. The tagline — "over the final fate of the Demon Druid" — gives that standoff a compelling weight, hinting at a moral conflict as much as a physical one.
