Excalibur #21

In "Crusader X," the ninth chapter of the cross-time saga, Excalibur finds themselves stranded in a twisted alternate reality where Captain America is known as Crusader X and the Shadow King wields control over the Hellfire Club. With Kitty Pryde still trapped in the real world, the team faces a dire threat as the Shadow King ensnares Jean Grey, leaving Rachel Summers vowing to reclaim what was lost—though the cost may be greater than any of them expected. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Chris Wozniak, with inks by Al Milgrom, colors by Brad Vancata, and letters by Tom Orzechowski, the issue's cover by Wozniak and Milgrom captures the tension of a world turned upside down.
