Excalibur #85

In "Edge of Night [Soul Sword Trilogy part 3]," Kitty Pryde pushes herself to the limit, drawing on Wolverine’s brutal tactics to fight Gravemoss’s hold over Nightcrawler’s body. With the stakes higher than ever, Shrill intervenes to separate the two, breaking the possession and turning the tide. As the dust settles, Kitty hands the Soul Sword to Amanda, who passes it to her mother—marking a quiet but pivotal moment in the trilogy’s unfolding. Written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Ken Lashley, with inks by Tom Wegrzyn, colors by Joe Rosas, and letters by Jon Babcock, the issue’s cover by Lashley and Wegrzyn captures the tension in a striking, shadowed composition.
