I'm sure it's just me, but A-Poc looking like he just stepped out of a Kanye album. I finally got a chance to pick up and read Excalibur and I was pleasantly surprised by the art and the setup of the overall story thus far. I dig the plot thread between A-Poc and Gambit, but I hope Howard follows through with proper buildup. I skimmed over the Braddock pages due to me not being very interested in Braddock family matters, but overall, including the parts with Jubes and Shogo, I was surprised and I just might pick up the second issue.
Also: I couldn't help but read A-Poc's intro as the same as Suge Knight's pitch for artists to join Death Row, or in this case, Krakoa from back in the day.
