About this Collection

This 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.
