EXCALIBUR by Tini Howard & Marcus To Appreciation 2019

[Frobisher]

Horses. I feel your pain, To

Can’t have horsemen without horses, amirite?

Also, everyone on that cover looks like Professor X cos-playing Excalibur.

I actually love the art, but I can see what you mean. It looks... "Unfinished." Or a bit like Kris Anka's art, in which it looks more like fanart than the real thing?

I've seen better stuff from Otto. This does look unfinished.

Excalibur got probably the worst variants from DOX titles.

[CGAR]

agreed...X-Men and Marauders are getting the best variants IMO

X-FORCE has great variants too.

So previews should be late today or tomorrow?

[CGAR]

Last week they came out Thursday I think. So here's hoping its later today.

Would be cool. Fingers crossed for it to be good.

I normally despise Brian but guys sitting on throne always make me weak in the knees.

What's actually interesting is that both Tini and Marcus have mentioned how close Betsy and Brian are going to be in this iteration of Excalibur.

I mean they clashed a lot AND she was closer to Jamie than she was to Brian.

Does anyone have a recent moments between Brian and Betsy or was there most recent heart to heart in the final issues of Remenders Uncanny X-Force?

Not counting the Christmas Special.

I agree in theory, but the beard and the weird looking gargoyle kill it for me.

I think it’s debatable who she is closer to, but I also can’t remember any shared moments between her and Brian since UXF. You know how the writers are, they’ll pick and choose whatever continuity will fit the story they want to tell best.

He does look weird what with the grey skin? I thought he was Apocalypse at first. But the manspread + that big sword.

That's just Dragon Man, is it not? Hickman used him in his Fantastic Four run I think. Not sure what kind of connection he has to this.
