I'm liking this more than issue 1 so far

[QUOTE=Beetle;4687949]I'm liking this more than issue 1 so far[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I feel like I'm gonna really enjoy this. Love the feel of these preview pages. I think issue #1 suffered a bit because Howard had a lot of set-up to get through and the characters kinda took a back seat, but getting the team away from Krakoa for issue #2 seems like the right step to focus on the cast.
-
This reads much better than #1. Looks solid.

Kitty costume is wrong?
Excalibur was my favorite from the launch. Preview is pretty good

Every costume inconsistency can now be written off as "mutant wardrobe".
Though the return of the diaper is very triggering. Between this and the NextGen costumes, To must be a fan of the training uniforms.
-
More Apocalypse secret history.
More Rogue/Gambit drama.
More Kitty Pryde channeling her inner pirate.
Sold! :o
-
I miss Kate being shitty to her friends :)
-
Gods, Kitty is insufferable.
You wouldn't even teach the mutantwins to swim, Apocalypse? Sink or swim aka survival of the fittest, I guess.
-
Yes yes yes!!! I am ready.
-
I'm not sure I like Kitty as the jokester character. I don't like it when its overdone with Iceman, but Kitty too? We already have Jubilee for jokes. The Marauders was my least favorite book but those characters are cameo queens at this point.
I loved Excalibur 1 so definitely checking this book out. I hope Rogue wakes up soon. We can always use more Rogue in the books.
-
The art is great. Kitty's teasing is a bit much, especially the duhhh.
It kind of sounds like we might be getting a retcon that [A] built the Excalibur lighthouse to commemorate the spot where those twins died.
-
Kate really said, "fuck yo plot I got my own sexy book"
I love it!

The original reason it was built in 1217 was by the monk, Feron, who built the interdimensional lighthouse as a tribute to his friend, the Phoenix. Wonder if that holds.

Why is everyone using the Kitty Ferry (Pussy Wagon?), taking days at the minimum to get around the globe, when there are X-Jets and more than a few mutant teleporters?
Rogue DOES look gorgeous, though.

It's weird, why aren't they using the Krakoa gateways?

Solid as a rock sir.

Misconceptions that he was there common Ancestor?

[QUOTE=Beetle;4688015]It's weird, why aren't they using the Krakoa gateways?[/QUOTE]
The lighthouse is a full day's drive from London. I researched it for some of the most god awful fan fiction you're ever seen.
-
-
[QUOTE=Beetle;4688015]It's weird, why aren't they using the Krakoa gateways?[/QUOTE]Because there isn't one at their destination. That's actually mentioned - they're going to place a gate there when they arrive!
-
Kate reads a lot like a natural extension of Evolution!Kitty, which isn’t a bad thing, as that was objectively the best interpretation of the character.
Come through Tini!
-
Lol Idc I love this Kate sfm.
This reads SO much better. First issue read kind of old-fashioned.
-
Kate being shitty is nothing new! And that's the way I love her.
-
So far seems on point and I'm eager to see what happens. Glad to be crossing over with the Marauders crew.
-
This doesn't sound like Gambit's voice at all. Rogue has been in mortal danger countless times. Gambit has never sounded like a lame ass square upset that someone is trying to lighten the mood. SMH!

She wasn’t his wife during those other times. I can believe it to be a progression for his character.
Wondering how Rictor gets involved at this point, esp since he’s the least connected (and well-known) of the bunch. Anxious foe his inclusion regardless!

I think he sounds overbearing and annoying. Rogue is not some damsel in distress. More to the point, Gambit basically is quite emasculated thus far. In issue one he says some stuff to Rogue and she basically tells him to shut up. He threatens Apocalypse and Apocalypse basically clowns him and here he tells everyone he is not in a joking mood and they pretty much continue to joke. No one takes anything he has to say seriously. He is the Rodney Dangerfield of Exacalibur.
But you are free to view it differently. I am just tired of basically nothing he says or does really mattering in the grand scheme of things.

Kitty is in like half the books

[QUOTE=Havok83;4688205]Kitty is in like half the books[/QUOTE]
I noticed that as well.

[QUOTE=jmc247;4688206]I noticed that as well.[/QUOTE]
Come on she's a pirate queen, what's not to love about that!
I love Betsy and Kate calling each other Captains, that was the best! Also, Kate asking Gambit if maybe Rogue just needs to be kissed!

Excalibur Issue 2 > Excalibur Issue 1

Not sure I buy that the ancient Britons would persecute someone for having a good sense of direction. What’s next - casting someone out for the uncanny ability of being good at whittling?
-
I love any interaction between Jubes and Kitty. Odd to see Jubilee being the serious one though.
Also I’ll bet she asked Angelo and Ev to watch Shogo. I can picture that conversation.
“What?? He’s [I]what[/I]?? HE’S YOUR WHAT???”
While Jono laughs his ass off.

“This man naps flint tools far better than anyone I’ve ever seen. Burn him!”
“But sir, we could really use someone who can...”
“I SAID BURN HIM.”

Its funny because I distinctly remember him saving Angel from a suicide attempt.
[QUOTE=Hi-Fi;4688094]Kate being shitty is nothing new! And that's the way I love her.[/QUOTE]
She's being a total bitca. When will her jealousy of Rogue stop!???
-
Lovely! I love Kate being like this, and Rogue looks kinda lovely in that form.
Apoc was a savage. For a split second I thought they were going to link Apocalypse with the birth of Rome, seeing twins and their looks. It would have been cool.
Oh and so Selene is officially not the first mutant?

That blue claw, wonder who that might be......

Shape-shifted Meggan?

Marcus To's art is SO GORGEOUS. Everyone's hair is exquisite! Even Poccy's cue ball is divine.

Gingers: *drown*
Apocalypse: oof *walks away*
