☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Bend Sinister (Soul Sword Trilogy Part 1)," Warren Ellis launches a gripping new chapter in the Excalibur Visionaries series, with Ken Lashley’s dynamic art and Tom Wegrzyn’s sharp inks bringing a tense, high-stakes clash to life. Kitty, wielding the fierce tactics she learned from Wolverine, faces off against Gravemoss, who’s taken control of Nightcrawler’s body, in a battle that pushes her to her limits. The issue ends with a quiet but pivotal moment as the Soul Sword passes from Kitty to Amanda, and then to her mother—setting the stage for something far larger.
In "Bend Sinister," Kitty Pryde is drawn into a dangerous spiral as the Soul Sword awakens something volatile within her, drawing the gaze of two rival sorcerers. With Nightcrawler trapped in the middle of a teleport, the line between mind and magic begins to fray.
In "Dark Adapted Eye," part of the Soul Sword Trilogy, Kitty Pryde’s mind unravels under the influence of the mysterious Soul Sword as Professor X and Moira race to understand its effects. Meanwhile, Gravemoss—possessing Nightcrawler’s body—launches a brutal assault on Excalibur, turning the team’s fight for survival into a battle against an enemy they barely recognize.
In "Edge of Night," Kitty, drawing on lessons from Wolverine, pushes herself to the limit in a desperate bid to break Gravemoss’s hold over Nightcrawler’s body. When the fight reaches its breaking point, Shrill intervenes, severing the possession and forcing Gravemoss to retreat. With the threat ended, Kitty passes the Soul Sword to Amanda, who then entrusts it to her mother—marking a quiet but pivotal shift in the balance of power.
In "Dream Nails Trilogy Part Three: Blood Eagle," Shadowcat and Pete Wisdom dig into Black Air’s mysterious alien connections, while Wolfsbane returns to Muir Island seeking refuge. Amid shifting alliances and personal trials, Rory’s journey through therapy with Spoor takes a sudden, painful turn—leaving his future uncertain.
