Excalibur #42

In "A Hatch Is Plotted," Alan Davis delivers a sharp, action-packed installment of Excalibur, where the Technet’s devious breakfast surprise blows the top off the lighthouse, sparking a fierce clash with Excalibur. When a Time Variance Authority agent intervenes to recalibrate Widget’s time-warping antics, chaos escalates—until Opal halts the fight and banishes the Technet to Earth, only for them to beg to stay and fix the damage. With Alan Davis handling both art and story, and Mark Farmer’s inks bringing the intensity to life, this 1991 issue blends sci-fi wit and superhero flair in a moment that redefines the lighthouse’s role in the team’s saga.
