New Excalibur #8

In "Brain Storm," Excalibur takes a rare moment of peace as they enjoy a live set by Dazzler—until a frantic call from Pete interrupts the calm. The team is soon caught in a brutal internal conflict when the Shadow King, masquerading as Bad Charlie X, seizes control of half their minds, forcing them to turn on one another. With the fate of Xavier hanging in the balance, Psylocke makes a desperate move to stop the Shadow King, but the cost may be greater than anyone expected. Written by Chris Claremont and Chris Yost, with dynamic art by Michael Ryan and Rick Ketcham, this issue features a cover by Ryan and Ketcham.
