About the series
In this 2007–2008 Marvel limited series, writer Chris Claremont reunites with artists Juan Santacruz and Cafu for a five-issue crossover that bridges the Captain Britain and Excalibur mythos. The story pits the interdimensional Captain Britain Corps—including Brian Braddock, Roma, and the enigmatic Opal Luna Saturnyne—against the reality-warping madness of Sir James Jaspers and his father Merlyn, with the fate of Otherworld hanging in the balance. A fitting capstone to Claremont’s long-running saga, Die by the Sword matters as a high-stakes, character-driven adventure that honors the cosmic weirdness and family drama of Marvel’s British corner.
