Excalibur #26

The cover of Excalibur #26 pulls no punches — Betsy Braddock kneels at the center, both hands gripping a radiant, glowing sword driven into the ground, her expression taut with resolve, while a tall blonde woman in a white fur-trimmed cape looms behind her against a darkened, rocky landscape. Scattered around their feet are the ghostly faces of fallen figures, lending the scene a solemn, elegiac weight that matches the cover's bold promise: "Betsy Braddock makes the ultimate sacrifice!" Writer Tini Howard and artist Marcus To deliver what feels like a genuinely consequential chapter, brought vividly to life on this Mahmud Asrar cover that balances mythic grandeur with real emotional stakes.
