☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects Excalibur #5-10, continuing the early adventures of the British super-team as they navigate bizarre realities and face threats like the Technet and the return of the Juggernaut. The title story, 'Two-Edged Sword,' pits Captain Britain against a twisted version of himself from a parallel dimension, while the team deals with the fallout of the original X-Men's disappearance. Chris Claremont and Alan Davis craft a blend of superhero action, humor, and multiversal chaos that defined Excalibur's unique tone.
In "Goblin Night," a dark, twisted version of Excalibur from an alternate dimension invades Earth to reclaim their captured counterparts of Moira and Callisto, forcing the original team into a desperate defense. With the original Excalibur overwhelmed, Captain America stands alone—donning his old, ill-fitting uniform to face the evil invaders. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Alan Davis, with inks by Paul Neary and vibrant colors by John A. Wilcox and Michael Kelleher, this 2006 issue delivers a bold, high-stakes clash with a haunting cover by Arthur Adams and Terry Austin.
In "Goblin Night," Phoenix races to New York when she senses her baby brother in danger, pulling Excalibur into a supernatural storm they didn’t see coming. As demons stir and the city teeters on the edge of chaos, the team must navigate a nightmare they can’t fully understand.
In "Excalibur's New York Adventure," the team lands in Manhattan with a mix of missions and personal stakes: Kitty reconnects with the New Mutants, only to discover Illyana has returned to her younger self, while Kurt commandeers the old X-Men's Blackbird for Excalibur's needs. Meanwhile, Meggan enjoys a night out, leaving Cap Britain to track her down as his powers begin to falter.
In "The Two-Edged Sword!", an evil alternate Excalibur invades Earth to reclaim their captured counterparts of Moira and Callisto, forcing the heroic team into a desperate fight. With their allies overwhelmed, Cap stands alone—donning his old, ill-fitting uniform to face the dark mirror of his own legacy.
In "The Price," Kitty grapples with the true nature of Widget as the Nazi Excalibur is sent back to its own dimension—only to detonate in a final, desperate act that sends Excalibur vanishing in the resulting explosion.
