Excalibur #21

Part of Marvel's 2021 Hellfire Gala event, Excalibur #21 sends the team into what looks like full-scale chaos — a robed, masked figure strides forward at center while winged heroes, lightning crackling in the background, and a sprawling cast of mutants surge into conflict all around them. Mahmud Asrar's cover crackles with kinetic energy, packing in an impressive crowd of combatants across every corner of the frame. With Tini Howard writing and Marcus To and Erick Arciniega bringing the interiors to life, this is a vivid snapshot of Krakoan-era storytelling at its most ambitious.
